Thanx Jim! Nope not mine, so i didnt want to try and close it so i just shot it as i found it. I may go back with other lenses and try different angles, but its pretty cramped and not much light coming in to work with.

Very nice portrait, Scott...
Even though it is not (gasp!!!) large format, I purchased last week a TLR from the fifties just because all it had was a meniscus lens. I have film in it right now and plan on taking it on my afternoon walk tomorrow. Today we had torrential rain and lighting, so it was more of a 35mm day.
Waterbury Scoville lens at largest aperture f/15 "bi-convex crown glass cemented to another plank-convex flint glass lens" Either "B for 5x8" or "BB for 6 1/3 x 8 1/3". Fortunately a Polaroid self cocking Copal shutter slips over the front of lens
