OK, this blog isn't about gear so much as just some stuff I've shot using either a Speed Graphic, a Busch Pressman or a Burke & James "Orbitar" with a 65mm lens.

So, perhaps not of interest to this bunch so much, but what the heck, it's a way to show folks that these cameras are still in use here in Ogden, Utah.

"... go hide under a dark cloth while exposing film that costs somewhere near $1 every time I click the shutter. Which isn't as expensive as it sounds. Six shots is a good afternoon's work. You take time to find the shot, locate the best view, situate the camera, calculate the exposure and finally take the image. It works out to be almost a zen thing."
Two thumbs up! Yes indeed, six shots for me is allot .. its not instant gratification, and there is that timelessness about it, that puts it into another space..
Thanks ...
