Post Photos of YOURSELF with your camera

That's pretty awesome.

Attachment 94071 What the heck. Slow day.

That's pretty awesome.

Thanks, Thom. Figured I'd inject some humor.
That's a Deardorff V11 11x14 that I recently had restored. It's connected to a modified Saltzman studio stand with a beefy Hercules head. The lens is a 405mm Kodak Portrait Lens which, in this focal length, was never offered with a shutter (too big). However, the gent I bought it from ingeniously connected it to an Ilex 5 shutter via a conical wood adaptor he made. Huge and heavy, but works!

If you (or anyone else) are interested in reading about the Deardorff V11 restoration (lots of pictures), it can be seen here: http://tmblr.co/ZIVyVsiizsTH

Very nice restoration job! Love that studio stand, too.

Well I'll be damned, it's you! (I'm Eric, one of the guys from that trip to the top of the Bay-Adelaide a few Octobers ago) Finally, someone I know.

Hey, hows it going Eric?
Hope you got some nice shots on that trip. My LF from the roof are awful, too much shake from the wind. If you're up for a photowalk I'm heading to commissioners and cherry to shoot the old studios and factories tomorrow.

As much as I'd like to I have a final in what is possibly my least favourite class ever, Thermodynamics. We'll have to meet sometime this summer, and perhaps then I'll have a photo of myself I can put on this thread.

Niagara falls, lower observation deck, Canadian side. I think all my gear is dry now.

I just got back from a solo trip carrying this guy on my back for a month in Turkey and a quick spin through Eastern Europe.

2 or 3 years back during a very nice old-timer car show. My hear got 'shorter' since then

I thought for sure I had posted this here but I went back through several times and can't find it. So here it is - if it's a duplicate, I apologize. That's me with my Canham 14x17 at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. The lens is a 355 G-Claron. I also have a 450 Nikkor-M for it. This Canham takes the larger Toyo sized lens boards rather than the Sinar sized ones Keith has standardized on now, thus the "Toyo-View" label on the lensboard adapter. The cool thing about the camera, to me anyway, is the fact that I know every person who's owned it since its creation, including the maker. I met Keith Canham at the View Camera conference in Springfield. I just met Clay Harmon, who commissioned it, at Photostock this summer. And I bought it from Robb Kendrick, who bought it from Clay.
