I took this photo on my new to me Burke and James 5x7 about 2 Weeks ago. Then had it drum scanned earlier this week.

If you don't recognize what it is your not alone. I however believe that it's an old Manure Spreader.

I don't know why, but I have named it the Politician!

Yep, its a manure spreader. I believe that I can see the chains on the bed which drag the, ah, "fertiizer" back to the blades which fling it out the back. If the gear-and-chain drive mechanism is still there (power came from the animals or tractor pulling the thing, via cleated ground wheels) you may find some interesting shapes to photograph.

The auger itself ought to hold a couple shots.

Here's a shot of an old stone smokehouse at Round Valley Regional Park near Clayton, California, from last Friday. This was taken on Harman Direct Positive Paper at ISO 12 and developed in Caffenol-C-H for 15 minutes in a tank with constant rotation. I used a Cambo SCN and Schneider Kreuznach 210mm f5.6.

Thank you Harold, and Marty,
I am hoping I can return there over the Christmas holidays, however it is in high country and could be buried under several feet of snow by then.

I honestly didn't even know if the camera I was using was any good. I had just bought and was half expecting light leaks.
I am certainly happy there aren't any.

Here it is with the link fixed. I don't know how to edit my posts in this forum, so I apologize for not simply fixing the original post.
