Congratulations! Now if only we could get someone to build new shutters and lenses.
You should be aware that there is a forest fire burning north of the town so lots of smoke and the power is iffy. Please check on conditions before you come.
Regards.
Very impressive. Congratulations on the camera.
Very nice. Congratulations.
Lovely. He must have sold the architectural images that I saw at Scott Nichols before he moved of a university done in the late 20s. They were exquisite.

Lovely one Greg. Love the tone as well.

Needs cleaning and all will be well. Someone like Carol Flutot can sort that for you.
Wind. I live in Southern Alberta - very windy at times. Had to rebuild my 5 x 12 last year when I took my hand for a second to reach something and it went over.
I made my own out of plywood heavy but functional. First there are two pieces laminated together, the upper one is the size of your paper and bottom one is 4 in bigger in both dimensions. A 2"...
Welcome from Calgary. Should be able to find a basic lens for not too much money. Possibly start with a more modern one as it is most likely to in working order. The great thing about mechanical...
I thought that ship had sailed long ago. I was not aware that they were still making B&W paper. Ilford is going strong and just introduced a new RC paper, then there is Foma , Adox and Bergger.
Thank you for reminding us of him. I have a small monograph published by Lodima Press.
I use the 3005 which is designed for 8 x 10 or 5 x 7. The 5 x 12 film sticks out but there is room under the top. It all works fine with conventional film but with x-ray, I use at least a 5 minute...
What a beautiful book and tribute to your father.
There was also platinum paper commercially made and I believe by 1900, there was silver gelatin.
Adox keeps promising a replacement but have yet to see it out and on the shelves. Very nice print by the way.
They are not hard to make. Find the right thickness of plywood or MDF. It is about 3/8" . Cut a rebate or rabbet at one end, drill a hole the right size and there you are.
What I have is a Wollensak 8 1/4" (210mm_ Graphic Raptar which has 385mm, the Nikkor 300M and a Red Dot Artar 19". I also have a 61/4" Hugo Meyer Wide Angle which seems to almost cover but I have...
Yes, a small connection with our mutual connection with Clyde McConnell, your prof and my friend.
Southern Alberta which is not a state but province. Everyone thinks only of Banff but there is much much more.
1. Foothills - tough to photograph as they are more subtle than the mountains but...
I have had mine for years. Bought from a friend for $50. Removed the war of the worlds top and put on a cold light. Later got a 6 x 9 Aristo light which covers 5 x 7 nicely. I made an adapter...
They are a great outfit. I have holders made by them for my ersatz 5 x 12 Seneca. Seneca did not make this format. I used the hardware from a 5 x 7 and copied the same design. I have no doubt the...
Tillman's is a Canham. I am wondering if he is still using it as he seems to be moving into very large platinum prints which indicates he is using digital.
199401 Here is a night shot from Calgary. It is of the new Calgary Central Library which has received much attention for its design. Taken with my homemade 5 x 12, 300mm Nikkor M, HP5 film in...
Thank you Merg. We have a very good international airport and lots of car rentals.
You may also want to spend some time near the Columbia Icefields. Good views from the visitor center which is across the highway from the icefields.
Boards are easy to make. Find a suitable thickness of baltic birch plywood, cut a rebate, drill a hole and there you are.
It is quite exciting to see new products in analog photography. "Ain't ded yet!"
Agreed. For the handful of lucky ones who find an audience there are a multitude who will remain unknown although their work may be exemplary. However, I still need to go out there and make images...
The short answer is yes. I have had this happen several times with different batches. Recently I developed some Efke which worked, although a little thin and then was testing some 5 x12 HP5 within...
If you are in the Monterey area do not overlook the Pinnacles which are an hour inland ( west gate). It is landscape that looks as if Dr. Seuss designed it. There are some very nice hiking trails. ...
I stand corrected.
I had a Weston III serviced by them and they did a great job. However, I believe that replacement batteries for the Weston are no longer available. Apparently they are only good for 30 years. No...
A couple of times I had the delightful experience of encountering a subject covered by someone well known. On both occasions , I also made an image with no intention of sharing it but enjoying the...
