The Belvada Hotel

Done with a Graflex 3A "postcard" camera which is 3 1/4 X 5 1/2" on rollfilm, but film hasn't been made for 60 years. To test the camera after extensive repairs I put 35mm film side by side and ran it through the gate.
Location
Tonopah, NV
Equipment Used
Graflex 3A
Exposure
1/30th
Film & Developer
Kodak Aerial Recon 3404 Plus X / D76
Paper & Developer
film scan was trouble enough for this.

It went through the usual downgrade to cheap apartments with sinks and toilets added, exposed plumbing all over the place, and finally abandonment. Some windows were lost and the pigeons moved in. Roof leaks spoiled ceilings at the top floor with other damage. So when the Clines, of Cline Cellers bought it and restored it for us we consider ourselves very very lucky.
 
Thanks Roger. Getting chilly for open cars these days, but you’re right the Model A improves any shot ;~’))
 
That double 35 is a cool technique, very artsy. You might want to continue with that on other subjects.
