Don, Weren't you shooting an Arca when we went to Utah? Or am I dreaming?

at age 73:
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep"
You must be kidding.
The entire length of the Valley is barely more than 7 miles.
You could have parked on the south side road near Cathedral Rocks (where you probably saw a number of cars belonging to rock climbers parked overnight) and walk less than half a mile to that spot like I did on two consecutive days this spring.
It's no longer an issue, anyways, since the north side road opened just in time for memorial day.
Kirk, Yep I was shooting an Arca-Swiss when we went to Utah, but had been shooting a Toho before that. I don't have a good photo of the Arca, hence the Toho photo. (And, next week I will be downsizing the cost of my large format habit by selling the Arca and buying a Chamonix, which I have on order. I'm having to finance the Colorado River trip somehow.)
Here is one I pulled out of the basement recently. Needs a lot of clean up, but I hope to eventually shoot with this beast.
If anyone has any knowledge about this camera and lens, I'd love to hear from you...
Thanks,
Ted
Ted - Don't know much about that particular camera (it's just a box, after all) but that's on SWEET lens you've got there. I've got a 305mm Kodak Portrait and love it...
Christopher, Le tue composizioni sono dei capolavori.
Un Irving Penn col gusto per il classico.
Bravo!
Rendo omaggio al linguaggio dei maestri !
A quick google search revealed this photo of the camera, in its complete original configuration.
There appears to be one for sale on eBay right now too. See this link.
My guess is that the camera is from around the turn of the 20th century.
