Thanks guys. It's funny the reactions I've gotten on that one. People are seeing everything from a bosom to a behind to a UFO to a KKK hood. If it was large format, I'd put it in that "Equivalence" thread-ha!
Austin that spire is magnificent. I love the geometry and balance.
I was in Everett, WA last week. Got out to shoot in the evenings. 25mm 1.4 Kern Switar.

Fooling around today...took my 2x3 Century Graphic out, popped some old 35mm film in the 6x7 back using the adapter thingies I got from eBay, and shot with my 47mm XL lens focused at roughly 10ft. Glued a cold shoe onto the top and used a 21mm viewfinder to estimate framing. Shot these images handheld wide-open at f/5.6, 1/15 of a second exposure, of the jazz band warming up before the concert I was working:
Yeah I can barely handhold my Leica M6 at 1/15 consistently. Anything with a FP shutter is dubious. The little Graphic and leaf shutter though is easy. Blurring from subject motion is what causes the most problems. These little images of course mask a lot of issues!
A little bit of early wintry weather has kept me busy with work and the basics of life the past four days. We've had no broadband, no phone except cellular, and generator power for four days. Just got back in from refueling/collecting generators for work and am scanning a few photos. I'm slacking on the LF side of things....
This photo is on the dock of Monhegan island last month. Most people go there to see famous art scenes and birds. I went there for work with the idea that I'd have ten minutes to run to the job site, 40 minutes to do work, and ten minutes to get back to the dock for the once a day boat ride this time of year. The boat was late and I only had ten minutes to work and then bolted back to the dock. The boat was late again, and I got to hang out long enough to burn a roll of film. It is a magical place that I'd like to spend more time at, but things are pretty well shut down for the warm season there. Portra 160 in my usual Rolleiflex automat tessar.
