nice pix, TT...but the sight of that big ol camera, and lens and film holder being held up by the rod of the ballhead makes me very nervous

Rochester Universal Me Portrait Hat by rrunnertexas, on Flickr
Self portrait, captured with a Rochester Universal 5x7 camera... with the shot is a Rochester 5x8 Improved camera from about 1886?
I hear cargo pants were in vogue in 1886!
Kidding,
Great self portrait, with elements of great interest, very well done.
Thanks!
Yes, dsphotog, the cargo pants were just in at that time. In reality, it was about 95 degrees and humid when I made this shot, so the period correct long pants were left in the house.
If they'da had em, they'da worn 'em. That's for sure.
That's what I wear all summer too.
I saw this cute little girl being photo'd by her parents at our waterfall, and asked if I could take the shot with a Lane dry plate using my 5 in. Derogy Petzval. They graciously agreed! Camera was a Chamonix 045n.
