Could be.

That looked like Annie to the left of the Dorf so unless she hired him to make Daguerreotypes for her I doubt it was your friend's. I'd bet she had a couple of assistants along, you know, to do the photography stuff.

Annie's got her own camera around her neck, and the credentialed photographers generally seem to be clustered in a few areas, so I suspect she's not with the 'dorff.

Got to tell you, my V-8 doesn't sit on a tripod that small. It sits on a Bogen 3036 and I still worry about stability.

I can't seem to find a way to capture the giga image. but if you go to the next aisle over on the right of the photographers' "tower" and just in back of the fence, there seems to be a fellow praying for his digital camera to come back to life (right next to the half-guy.)

PS...What an amazing image from a technical aspect. And how fun it would have been with my 8x10 and borrowed 24" RD Artar!

I can't find the Deardorff. Where is it?

Start at the bottom on the right side -- go up the image to the wall (cop leaning against it) -- the Dorff is just past the wall.

Ironic that not so long ago, LF would produce the ultimate (in terms of detail) image, while now it is mentioned with a hint of a nostalgia, and its practitioners spotted thanks to a new image capture technology that was initially greeted with skepticism and excluded from this forum.

Jeez, I would never have found it. Thanks.

Given the impact that the digital revolution had on the existing photo business community in retrospect, the skepticism and exclusion seems understandable. That is an amazing image but it has the same shortcoming that many of today's shots from new technology have...anyone who knows knobs could've taken it. Not much of the character of the shooter or subject comes across.

I'm curious now to see what the guy with the Deardorff got for his effort.
