Abhazia. Mountains.
And clouds under my feet...

A friend of mine is teaching photography at a local university (Dillard) and asked me to show her class the 8x10.

The students do not appear excited about being there. Howard

Why should they get excited?
That camera can't send text messages or answer some inane Facebook survey while sending a photo of your BFF to your 300 closest friends AND tell you what Taylor Swift wore to the MTV awards.


Ok, I'm done now.

so...really ancient quoting. but i had to chuckle 'cause it's so true. lol

but...

i'm setting up my 4x5 in my classroom as i get it put together (old calumet...film holders and nikon 210/5.6 on the way), and my high school photo students are going crazy over it. lol. they can't wait to use it, and jockey for position to look at the ground glass (under a black trash bag, until i bring a more proper dark cloth). it's blowing their minds. i'm planning a large scale project where they'll all get a chance to use it (most likely with Harman direct positive).

i'm also planning on setting up a class hashtag so we can have a social media gallery to peruse weekly. should be interesting since most of them have a smartphone and instagram or twitter.

no photo of me and the camera...yet. but it'll come.

The bearded one out standing in the field with the 11x14. Note the nicely placed dark slide hiding the stomach muscles!

OK, so this thread got me off my arse this weekend.


4x5 Efke-25, shot with a Toyo 45a and Symmar-S 240/5.6. Camera in the photo is a Toyo-View. The bellows looks saggy because there's a flash in there and I'm using the GG as a softbox.

Bravo, Polyglot. Well done.
