I.G.I.
I made one Saturday, and it might be an interesting print, but maybe not so good for MSA. Yesterday my 12 year old daughter and I spent a couple hours driving around looking for ideas. It was fun because she randomly picked where we would go ( "turn left!" "turn right!" "Go THAT way!" ) so we wandered all over the county and had fun taking pictures. We found several "transport" ideas, but none that really grabbed my fancy yet. I've got other some ideas to explore still....
Some great entries so far!

Great idea! My daughter wants to learn analogue photography and this will be a nice assignment for her to practice shooting her second roll of film.
Thanks for the tip!
Bert, my daughter has a pink "disney princess" 35mm camera that is fun. She also likes pinhole photography ( and her p&s D1g1+@L camera too ). She's ready for the Olympus XA that my wife gave her.
She has an eye for composition that it is better, freer, more creative than mine. Yesterday she took a picture of a stack of big apple crates ( for transport-ing apples... ) that was wonderful. She found a dramatic perspective so the stack was the big main subject but with the rows of apple trees leading up to them and fading off into the distance. It's very fun to go out taking pictures with her.
I think we'll try making prints in the darkroom sometime this year. I was about her age when I first did it.
That is from my Rolleicord Va on TMax 100. TMax developer per instructions. That is a negative scan, though I have printed it. I wander around the city when I can get away from work and see what I find. Got lucky on that one. People say YOU GOTTA HAVE A TRIPOD!! Well, you don't GOTTA HAVE A TRIPOD all the time.
This is something different for me, but when I saw this negative I decided it was worth making a print. Some time ago Bert and I chatted about building a fixed focus camera. I built a 5x7 prototype that I wasn't happy with, and I had this 1914 lens reserved for 8x10. This weekend I finally made the bigger camera and this picture was the first. I went to this place I'd been eyeing for MSA and was supposed to remove the front lens element before making the exposure, but I forgot, so it was focused at about 3 or 4 feet! But honestly I think I like this result better than the photo I was trying to make. It is a contact print from a paper negative.

Interesting, highway or traintrack bridge?
Transport to Rotterdam
Transport by Fast Ferry: Bike, Ferry, Bridge and Highway.
Last week taken with an old TAHBES Syncho camera (1948). Very low quality but it still works!
Ilford FP4-HC110 6 min, neg-scan. (Tahbes image is not analog)

Well, this is my best shot so far. Was on my way home from some night photography with my cousins and did it when waiting for the bus.
Nikon F4, Fujicolor C200 at rated speed, 30 second shutter time, 50mm 1:1.8 AI-S Nikkor. Straight scan of print into Microsoft Paint.

Hi Ned,
It looks like a potential winner for this MSA! It's a great image, worthy of Fox Talbot IMHO.
But seriously, I think it's a great image. Make a nice Gum print or Bromoil print with this negative and it would be a perfect Pictorialism style image.
(I'm into carbon printing right now)
BTW: it is nice to see you actually made a shot with a camera we discussed about. I'm still in the thinking-and-collecting-materials-stage. But this image is a good inspiration for me to put some real effort into this project.
BTW2: paper negatives are real fun to do, isn't it?

Hi Stone, it's a highway. Underneath is an old movable trestle railroad bridge that hasn't been used in many years, but it isn't visible in this picture.. or visible only as a subconscious hint!
Hi Bert, paper negatives are very fun! I use them a lot!
Airports in France (Lyon) are somehow elegant:

Surprised with all the security, you were even able to take this.
que? I take photos in airports regularly. None of those were in the MSA period though.
Anyway, I've shot one for this assignment and (I think) developed it. Should make its way through the scan queue this week...

In America, many "transportation" areas are now off limits to cameras, in the subway systems sometimes I get in trouble for aiming my camera at the TUNNEL area because I might "gleam some way of doing harm" with my photo that could get into the hands of terrorists or some such nonsense...
Question: are we permitted multiple submissions? Or just the one?

Mamiya C220, 80/2.8, Pan-F+, yellow filter, Xtol 1+1 in a Jobo. Unadjusted scan from negative.
That beast also has rocket fuel on board.
