Not pictured are his planes - he has actually collected them for years. Some of the ones in the shop were not in a photogenic place. I will perhaps get him to pose with them. That would honestly be the most appropriate shot due to his love of them.

The tonal range and detail is very pleasing to my eye, very yesteryear, great Work!
I photographed with my grandfather Thursday morning in his shop as he worked on turning a big piece of juniper. He got the bowl down to the rough form and called it quits for the day. Here's a photo of him first starting to turn it. Taken with my Polaroid 900 and 135mm f/3.5 Xenotar wide-open, on HP5+:

Wonderful shot, one to keep for generations.
Beautiful... It's my hope to be able to be a grandfather like yours, preserving these skills and crafts, even though I did not have the fortune to learn from my own grandfather...
Thanks all. I have some more I will post when I get them scanned. Also shot a roll of 120 with my Rolleiflex, but I guess I'll put one of those in the Everything Else subforum.
That is an excellent photograph. Bravo!
