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

No worries. Pretend like you are Magician. Fast and smooth.

Neat! Love all of this...clothes, derby, tripod, "exposed", camera.

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.
