I second that!

I have been questioned by park rangers numerous times. Shooting with my 8x10 Deardorff at the beach usually draws a crowd, including the rangers. One time at Crystal Cove state park I was with a...

I just returned home yesterday from Greg Gorman's workshop in Palm Springs. We spent the day at Joshua Tree a couple of days ago. Lots of photographers, but I was the only LF'er to be seen. The...

Thank you ImSoNegative.

Sly, thank you for the kind words.

Rain and cold in So Cal, so time for the darkroom.
Finally did a reprint over the NewYear weekend of
my wife from a warmer time. First time using
Fomatone MG Classic warm tone. I think I like...

Thanks everyone for the nice words.

It's called Men's file. It is a British magazine that specializes in (retro) style clothing. The photo is from my San Onofre project where I am using my 8x10 Deardorff to photograph the surfers...

Just got my copy. I may even frame the cover shot.!

Nice images, especially for your first!

Ouch!, I just looked at my bill. Sorry Vinny, but it was somewhat over 500.00. But I did notice they gave me a free eyeglass case.

I meant to spell loupe.

I just had a new pair of glasses made for me by my Optometrist. I asked that they be made so that I can focus at 13", using both eyes. Then I wanted him to build in a bifocal on the right eye only,...

Had a great time in SJC Craig. Thanks for putting it all together. Also, it was nice to meet some people from the Form

I've just signed up for the Jock Sturges workshop at the Palm Springs Photo Festival. I'm bringing the 8x10. Has any other LF shooter signed up? I hope I'm not the only one.

I meant to include this image too.

After readying what I wrote, even I wasn't sure what I was asking, and it looks like over 100 members didn't either. So let me restate what I mean.
I use spotone dyes for spotting my prints....

Brian, I have always admired the work of Jock Sturges. My wife and I have a beautiful image of his, (Fanny) in the bedroom. I am inspired by Jock and others and I'm sure it shows to some degree in my...

This is a diptych I have over my fireplace for the time being.

My Spotone drop control sheet doesn't mention Ilford FB Warmtone. Does anyone have a ballpark color mix for it? My prints are selenium toned but I pull them just before any noticeable color shift. I...

I was able to achieve the look by under exposing the soft light on my VC head. I stopped just short of pure white. I can also print this image the more conventional way showing all of the skin...

I photographed the Century plant a few years ago. When I went back to do it again a Taco Bell was standing in it's place. I went in and had a Chalupa in its memory.

I just returned from my annual family reunion at Lake Tahoe. I was hoping to burn all my 8x10 film and reload my 12 film holders using my film changing tent. As it turned out with over 20 relatives...

Frank, I hope you will reconsider the 8x10 Deardorff. Yes they feel a little sloppy especially the rear standard, but the one you used was probably worn out. I fell in love with the 250 Fujinon-W...
