All from two years ago in Superior, AZ. First time out with the hybrid Arca/Canham 11x14"

Ok, This is a bit awkward......I work on Deardorffs keep that in mind!
The large group of cameras and just me is part of my Deardorff Collection.
If you have questions please ask!
The second shot is what I did for a number of years. My son Collects Steam tractors
and we do tractor shows. While he was out running and plowing with steam I was documenting the tractors and selling prints. Correctly called engines. The only problem was after a few years I had shot nearly every engine in Indiana and Ohio! But I've met some great people and my son has a full time business restoring engines.

Ken,

I'm not sure where that shot was taken, but it reminds me of the Hesston Steam Shows I used to attend as a kid with my dad back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Do they still have those?

Kerry! My whole family were members for many years at Hesston. He restored and remanufactured his first Steam Traction Engine there when he was 14. He's a ME now. I ran the steam train for 6 years. I hate shoveling coal. This shot is at LaGrange IN. Past South Bend IN east about 40 miles. Today my daughter and grandson saw NKP 765 in N Judson and to keep on a LF subject there were 3 4x5s there A Shen, Tachahara and a Speed Graphic. I was going to take the 12x20 but there really were too many people and the camera draws a crowd. It was bad enough that the old film oriented railfans wondered what my Nikon RF Mount Bessa was around my neck. Have you been to Valpo recently?

Photographing trees and a creek in a local park this morning. Acra-Swiss Discovery going wide with a 75mm and some Efke 25.

Me and my homemade 16x20. Under $100 including filmholder that I also made, but not including lens. Tried it out with a paper negative and it worked great. Waiting for film from the ULF Ilford order. Doubt I'll be taking this camera very far. I love the detail of a 16x20 contact print, but the 500mm lens has such a small depth of field there are few landscapes that I can think of that it would be a good fit for. It was a fun project nonetheless. Bellows were made from two garbage bags, heavy construction paper, and lexel glue. Filmholder was built off a 16x20 picture frame.

Kudos to you, sir!
