When I took up a camera again 10+ years ago (mid life crisis and all), I picked up a Leica M7. My rationale has always been "the smallest tool that gives me the highest quality (so I have nothing to blame on except myself)"
In the back of my mind, the large format camera is a siren song that I kept hearing. 3 years ago, I plunged in, starting with a 617 Shen Hao since I love panoramic. For a year or so, my 4x5 collection grew to 3 cameras. After a while, 3 are reduced to 1, the Chamonix 4x5 F1 (also still have and use the SH 617).
In 2014, I started a portrait project, Transformations:Cosplay - cosplayers/costumers in and out of the costumes. A few months ago, I started another portrait project, Worldbuilders of Science Fiction & Fantasy, authors, writers, and other creative types in the SF&F field.
I don't expect the Transformations:Cosplay until June 2016 at the earliest. Likewise, the Worldbuilders of SF&F project will take at least 2-3 years.
A few days ago, I finally I got a HTML5 Gallery plugin and now I can make web galleries easily!
Now they should work on any devices, including the iStuff! If you have a few minutes, please look at

THANK YOU, I have learned much from this site and you folks.
