A bit of ancient history. Me shooting with a 4x5 view camera back in 1978. Photos taken by a friend.

A dodgy quarter plate view camera picked up at the Wolverhampton camera fair. This is a bit of a hobbyist's hybrid, with some old parts (a 120mm Zeiss Tessar and a Zeiss shutter, possibly the bellows, and wooden back - which is old but disguised by some nasty silver paint) and some newer parts (the monorail). It needed some work, and the shutter only goes at three settings (1/250th, B and T) but it now takes pictures again.

I always feel awkward pulling off to the side of the road to take a picture, and that's with a normal camera. I felt like an idiot taking this with the 4x5, especially underneath the focusing cloth with cars whizzing by.

4.21.11 {110/365} Sorry I've missed 10 days, exams are killing me.
There are days when I just want to lay down in the grass, because life that day has just became to damn stressful. And I think of the song, "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" by the Flogging Molly. And I think that why I'm I so stressed? I could leave this world tomorrow and I would most likely be stressed.
So what I'm saying is that I'm going to try and be a person that stresses less and that looks up at the cloud animals more.

Now we're getting somewhere. This one was a joy to shoot from the get-go. I put my head under the hood and said, "Oh yeah!" That 65mm Nikkor can do no wrong. A pain in the ass to use no doubt, but it makes for instant rectilinear drama with just about anything you care to aim it at.
This was the last day of Christmas break (2007) and the thickest fog of the season descended upon the town, it was awesome. Fog is Mother Nature's way of turning the world into a painting. As usual, Mayhem's "Funeral Fog" was cued up on the disc player in the car ride over.
Because of the 2 sheet film i developped yesterday and today are awfull (bad depht of field, bad exposure, bad chemical process, unbelievable scan who can ever get some information on a transparent negative), i juste post here a pic of the Sinar.
Enjoy it, it could be long until i make a good shoot :d.

So one of my flickr friends, Lauren Lankford, did a shoot for some amazing Haiti Relief shirts. They're American Apparel, available in Grey and Blue, and only $15. 100% of the proceeds benefit the relief effort in Haiti.
You can follow Lauren on Twitter! Lauren's Twitter
Get the shirts HERE
I just purchased mine, let's all come together on this one and see how much money us flickr kids can raise for Haiti relief. Maybe if enough people get these shirts, we can have a big video collaboration with us all wearing them? If you DO purchase a shirt, please let me know! Thank you guys! :]

This was a lucky shot. I set it up and thinking everything was ready, I pulled the darkslide. Then I copped that I hadn't closed the shutter. I guessed the exposure - and it turned out tack sharp!
Like most photojournalists, I grew into the profession loving the Leica. The feel, the quality, the photograph - all perfect. For me, however, it was the view camera, a 4x5 field Wista, that really taught me how to see.
The size slowed me down, the film gave me wonderful tone and detail, and the ground glass forced me to study the picture before I took it. I fell in love with the upside down world under the dark cloth, and as I returned to the 35mm world, I never forgot it's magic.
The digital world has given me hope of returning to familiar territory with their view screens, but until now they have been too small to use for anything else but simple framing.
All that has changed for me, however, with my Canon A540. Its 2.5 inch screen is so large and clear that I want to put a loupe on it for focusing (it has one built in). Also, it has digital grid lines so I can keep my pictures straight. As we move further into the 21st century, my digital cam now looks back to beginning of photographic time.
