My youngest granddaughter Jade. 1/4 plate Graflex Super D, Efke PL100M sheet film, old brass lantern projector lens I bought for a dollar at a flea market, 1/200 at I guess f4 (wide open with a yellow filter). This lens gives a nice soft effect but no swirl!

My first wet plate portrait on tin with voodoo chemicals I mixed myself:eek: . 5x7 Anthony Style Tailboard camera, Dallmayer lens, f3 @ 5 sec exposure.

Here's a couple from a day I took my camera to work. Just processed. 4x5 tmy-2 in pmk. neg scans.

The trouble with high school girls is that when you want to capture the brooding heartache of teenage angst, they're just so damned happy...
