Well deserved congratulations, Kirk.

You'd think by now they would know not to mention Nigeria...
Thanks to all for the great advice and suggestions, as well as the encouragement! I can't wait to get started; right now it looks like I'm gonna start with the plywood on the bathtub and tray...
lol...
I'm relatively new to LF, and it's almost time to take the next step. I think I've convinced my live-in girlfriend to let me turn our bathroom into a sometimes darkroom. But I think I may have a...
Happy New Year to all,

Hi Steve. No, I actually live in CA, grew up in Philly. My brother works for PSU, though, and I've been up there a fair amount in the last six months or so. My work takes me around the country a fair...
Whoops, sorry about the size of the first image...
Henry, you've prompted me to show some of my first shots with large format! Thanks, my friends are getting a little sick of me showing them. :-)
I started my first lf foray with a 4x5 monorail...
Hi David, welcome to large format.. The readyload holder slides under the spring loaded ground glass just like a normal film holder.

Apparently he's got a lot of production stills to sell, as well. Very nice image, but I don't think the range is much over five...
50% 4x5 chromes
40% 4x5 B+W
5% 4x5 color neg.
4% 6x7 chromes with a C2 roll holder
1% polaroid 55
100% dreaming about getting an 8x10
= -$a lot of money....
I would second Cox labs in Sacramento. Fantastic work, and Jeff is a really great guy; he spent an extra 10 minutes explaining something to me (I'm a little dense, sometimes) and it was just for two...
I just sold#3 on ebay for around $80, and I was quite happy at that price. A nice lens (good contrast and detail, covers 4x5 adequately) whose glass was still good, but whose shutter was a little...
I think everyone means the polaroid '545i', not 454i. Which I third, is a great polaroid back that I use for kodak readyloads, as well as polaroid film.
Internetically: adv. via the internet
I think I just created a new word....
As a relative neophyte to LF, I would have found it an enormous resource to be able to view the cameras I read everyone write about. (Come to think of it, I still would find it such). I know that...
Congrats, Kirk. Loved your pieces in May/June's View Camera Mag. Particularly the "Overview, Santa Fe Railroad Yards'. I wish I still lived in Albuquerque.

Frequent reader and sometimes poster checking in from Roseville, CA (near Sacramento). Looking forward to a foggy winter...
California or Costa Rica?
Jason, I'm actually still in NJ bouncing between woodbridge and Freehold. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll be here until 9/8. Thanks a lot!

Richard, as an infrequently published photographer in 35mm and a newbie to large format, I would dearly love to read about your professional experiences, both good and bad. Please, by all and any...
Thanks for the fast response, Brian. Yes, I was considering placing two (very small) packs in the box with the film, and placing both in the fridge. I will be leaving the boxes in the fridge until...
I have a quick newbie question. I'm on the road for a couple of months for work, and staying in one of those extended stay hotels in New Jersey. While here, I brought my 4x5 and a couple of boxes...
Hello all!
I'm working in Woodbridge, New Jersey for a few weeks, and shot some Ektachrome readyloads and TMAX readyloads at Valley Forge not long ago. My work schedule is pretty heavy, and I'm...
John,
You should have gone with Sirius Satellite...:-)

I don't think it's a digital vs. traditional thing at all. I think it's a marketing thing.
One of the reasons people spend big dollars on art is to purchase something that is unique, that has the...
It's consistant and dependable. I realize I'll probably sound pretty naive here, but I started shooting transparencies because when I got my prints back from the lab (cringe) the final image was...
I believe it's pronounced, "szhee-clay"
Does anybody know what 'hoidy toidy' means? I've always wanted to know....
Thanks a lot everyone! All questions answered and are systems are go! Although I do have a red mark on my forehead from finally realizing how to get rear backtilt and front base tilt. DOH!

Hello all.
As some of you know, I purchased a used Tachihara about a week ago. I just received the lensboard from Badger (fast shipping!) and I shot a couple of test shots on Fuji Velvia100 to...
Which gets you more excited, the money you make as salary from your job, or finding a hundred dollar bill lying on the ground?
I think it's a question of expectations. When you go out...
Thanks Bruce, I stopped at CameraArts and drooled for about half an hour, but the Irish in me prohibits me from spending $50 on a lensboard. The cabinet shop is a great Idea and one I think I will...
I'm confused, Jim. Are you the seller or the bidder?
That's not much more than I paid for a Sironar-N 150mm (I think it was $250) Did I get knackered?
I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I had so many helpful replies that I figured I would keep everyone up to date. I hold in my hand, one of the most beautiful (kinda like a first love)...
Nobody goes there anymore, it's way too crowded...
I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous...
lol...thanks bruce, that's good news. While I try not to drop my cameras in large bodies of water, I'm not exactly ginger with them, either.
Alan, thanks for the words of reassurance. As long as...
