Very good Marcus, I also like your new site design.

excuse me for my absence, I've been rather overwhelmed of late.

I have a question perhaps someone can help me with.

When I scan a 8x10 negitive on my Lexmark flatbed scanner there is a cross hatch pattern in the background of the resulting digital image. Any...

Stefan, a face worn with age, I feel a very full life coming from him, experiences, good and bad.

Marcus, your son's personality is evident, he is at the age when he begins to form a personhood of...

Remember Kodak purchased many of these other companies such as Century, Seneca, Empire State, therefore there can be some possible crossing of parts in the years after the mergers. I have a Century...

Just keep in mind the weather around Mount Washington can be very unpredictable and even dangerous in winter.

How about a thread of images that at first view we started to toss to the dust bin but we then said , ummm on second thought.

Ash, I remember a Sally Mann photo, a mirror reflection of herself with her Century No.1.

Kerik, I adore collodion, the richness of the blacks and tans.

on the other hand I just noticed it says 8x10 on the lense thus it is the 11 1/2 inch. In any case that is enough lense for my work.

Now you have caused me to go ummm ... the link you posted is a scan of the original specifications for the versar lenses, however it lists a 2 inch diameter for a 11 1/2 inch 8x10 lense and a 2 1/2...

thanks again for the compliments.

The lense is a 11 1/2 inch Wollensak Versar Portrait and View in a very moody old Regular shutter circa about 1900, by my memory I shot that at about f8 ( old...

Thank you Marcus, it is one of my better works because of her, she struck this pose of her own thought and the light illuminated her perfectly.


By the way- on your site, your image of Ellen is...

stunning work

I would recommend to forget the Smokies and go north to Virginia. From Damascus go on route 58 to Abingdon, there are many places to shoot between there. Also you can go north from Abingdon on 58/19....

Thanks Gary, I am considering Shelden and Biggins.

I am planning some shoots next year in the North/South Carolina area, I need ruins, places that are gothic yet not a tourist trap. For example like the Biggins Church ruins but more west and towards...

yes it works but I rarely use it, if the subject is not level on the glass then I make adjustments anyway.

Here is a rubber blanket I found for $98 USD. You can use wood strips from a hobby shop and this to make bellows. I am not sure of the total size of the blanket thus you may want to ask before...

I can offer some advice on the bellows problem. Go to a civil war reenactment or google civil war reenacting sutlers. Your looking for a "gum rubber" poncho. They made ponchos and rain jackets in the...

I have purchased two Kiev 88s in the past 5 or 6 years, they were shipped from Russia and I never paid any fees.

However I suspect it is by chance, half chance you pay, half chance you pay not.

Bump your head. Really, I have been in a terrible creative slump until the other day at my job I walked into a light and cut my head. LoL

Thank you for the welcome Capocheny.

Greetings to all, I am Christophe :)


I have been involved in LF photography for about 10 years, first with an old 4x5 kodak primo with wood film holders. Not long after I purchased a 8x10...
