So who brought their 'Dorff to the inauguration?

I also counted at least two Graphics among the press. Good to see some classics among all the big glass.

CBS was interviewing some celebrity, (Dustin Hoffman I think, perhaps Steven Spielberg), and pointed out that Annie Leibovitz was there next to him. At that point I looked up and saw a Deardorff 8x10 next to and behind Leibovitz. I think that that is Leibovitz with a small camera next to the Deardorff near the lower right corner of the panarama. Is it Leibovitz's Deardorff? I don't know. I actually think not.

Is that maybe David Burnett in the rear press pit (behind the president)?
Looks like a speed graphic with a big lens like an aero ektar, a combination I know he shoots with.

Pretty cool... I like finding the attentiveness and facial expressions of political leaders and celebrities. Find Newt Gingrich, Justice Clarence Thomas, etc.

Jerry Spagnoli attended the f:295 Seminar at B&H the day before the inauguration and said he'd be heading down with credentials to make daguerreotypes. That could be him in the leather jacket behind the 'dorff. Looks like his jacket and his chin.

Daguerreotypes of this inauguration would truly be something! It would sure beat all those rubbish "collectors plates" I see being shamelessly hawked on tv. In addition to the two others, there was this fellow using another Graphic.

I deleted my previous attempt to post the same guy because the posting was not working...darn, you snooze, you loose!

I like the piece of wood or something holding up the front lensboard on that Deardorff

I used to work for a catalog house and we had a lot of 'dorffs that need clamps, boxes under sagging bellows, lots and lots of gaffer tape holding them together.
I'd get one in that condition in a NY minute!
