Sharing a recent shot during a walkabout (with 4x5 no less)

Nagaoka Field 4x5
Unnamed 210mm f/5.6 (found in a junk store in Tokyo, probably Fujinon)
Expired Kodak TMAX400 souped in Rodinal 1:100

Portrait of a man staying in an old folk's home, in an old iconic building that is scheduled to be demolished to make way for yet another useless highway here in Singapore.

Shot at a flea market.

4x5 Graphic View - Arista EDU 100

mamypoko and pfiltz,

Beautiful work! I like both your portraits, and I like them together! What characters, and such sensitive treatments! Thank you for posting your excellent work.

Thanks Jay....

Are you located in Seattle? What town? I'm heading up that way to shoot some 4x5 in Sept.

Hi Peter. I live in Capitol Hill -- very close to downtown. I'd love to meet up in September.

Pfiltz, I really like this one. Lots of character.

Jay, I'll mention it to the photographer whom I visiting with in Seattle... Maybe we can have drinks or what ever one evening. I know we're going to be on the move every day while I'm there, attempting landscapes :)


Thanks Furman... appreciate it.

First LF portrait since May! Awful. Well, I should say developed since May. I had a backlog of undeveloped film. I'm going to try to stay more on top of it.

Anyway, without further ado:
