Linhof Kardan Standard / Schneider Symmar / Forte Polywarmtone direct paper shot
The image says it all. Insted of using the Leica II/III body and technology to make a quality SLR, Leitz's approximation to SLRs took the form of a reflex housing with a strong bias towards tele and macro photography. Because everything else could be done with a rangefinder Leica, right? Now, we know this was a bad move. Don't take me wrong, I love my Viso, but I think I love it for the same reasons it was not user friendly: it is clumsy, heavy, not easy to operate and not really convenient for anything but amateur photography.
The Zenit C, instead, is one of the smaller, if not the smallest, 35mm full frame SLRs ever, a joy to operate and to carry around. It is Leicaish, it's got the feel of the real thing... if it was not for the poor finish; it's the ugly glossy paint what I'm talking about.
I love them both, of course :)

For my newspaper people set.
I did a project where people get to dress up in whatever they want out of newspaper.
I took me more than 5000 staplees to do all their costumes but it was worth it.
Took it with a view camera 4X5 film. :D
there are 10 images total more will be comming soon.
For the last several Autumn seasons I have made it a point to take a photo of the tree in front of the house of the nice lady who lives across the street, Valerie. Unfortunately, she had a stroke this year and has gone to live with her Daughter and the house is now for sale. I wanted to make sure I got one last shot of "Valerie's Tree" this year to remember her and her place in the neighborhood.

It is only April and the snows have started. The road out has no snow plough service and if there isn't a break in the weather the car will stay there until September. This is not good for an automobile.
I made this picture whilst getting lost in the woods in the pitch black. Which was fun. Not.

Firstly, I know I love the aesthetic of the way colors play together at night.
But more than that, it's about my love of industry, admiration of raw, hard work and finding beauty in these things built solely for their function and rarely for form.
I know there's more too it than that, so I have to keep shooting to find out what it is.
Which means...
I need my own Field camera. I can't shoot this work on 6x6 ever again.
The V-Pan was a panoramic monorail view camera made by the late Chet Hanchett. It had ground glass focusing, a 617 roll film back, standard and wide angle bellows, view camera movements, and used Linhof Technika style lensboards for interchangeable lenses.

This is my first image that I have for my final project in photo 112. I decide to make it as colorful as possible. This too is a 4x5 transparency that I will have to make a 14 x "11" print of for our final showing.
This is an advance copy of my first published book (one made by someone other than myself). The book will be released by www.charleslanepress.com in September 2011. Charles Lane Press was started by Richard Renaldi and Seth Boyd and they are becoming known for their immaculate attention to detail in the production of their books. Mine will be the 4th book they have produced.
