Things You Never Thought You'd Learn from Large Format Photography

[Robert Hughes]

Since I have old cameras with old lenses, old cars, old furniture in an old house, my mother is convinced I'm going to marry a real old woman one day.

If you're lucky, you'll still be married when she's really old.

Well on the home and family side, I've learned how wonderfully encouraging and supportive my partner is of my idiosyncratic and expensive hobbies :-)

I made up for my old cameras, old darkroom gear, vinyl record collection and old radios by getting a considerably younger fiance - who loves my old cameras. I'm a lucky man.

Things that seem immutable, or that claim permanence, do indeed change, but sometimes too slowly or in too long a cycle to be noticeable. I've learned from large-format photography that time is of the essence. The lesson, once learned, carries to small-format photography, where time is usually ignored.

When vultures or any other birds are circling over head its best not to spend too much time under the dark cloth

Good one! I have had this happen to me in Costa Rica.

One of the reasons I read this forum. Always look to see how inventive the 'fill in the blank' is.

"Budget" is a relative term with little meaning.

Some (pretty) girls love the cameras as much as (ugly) guys.

5x4 was never big enough.

"One camera, One lens" is all well and good until you buy another camera and that means you need to buy another lens.
