Overheard comment

I was taking a group shot in Times Square, NY, recently of a team I had worked with. I was using a 10x8 Deardorff and a fairly big crowd stopped to see what was going on.

I was levelling up by balancing my iPhone on the back and using a spirit level app. As I did so, I overheard two people in the crowd

"look at that man using that really old camera!"

"it's not that old; it's got a phone on it..."

It made me chuckle...

I'll go to the app store today and find the one that changes the iphone into an 8x10 LF, what a deal.

LOL

I need that app (the spirit level).

I wish my camera had a phone on it.

I wish my spirit level had 10X8 camera attached to it.

I need that app (the spirit level).

I'm with Benjiboy, except I want an 8x10, I shoot landscapes not portraits.

Hey, at least it wasn't, "look at that really old man using that camera!"
