I suspect you've never seen any original LF work. Looking in magazines and on-line won't work. It is dramatic beyond the control from depth of field, perspective and other tools.

As Bill said, he failed. Hopefully he'll have some success someday.

Two shots of ice, taken with a Kodak #2 5x7 and 8-1/4" Verito. Second one cropped slightly.

Having fun...always loved this image.
From December 1987, eastern Oregon near Summer Lake. This was taken right outside my VW campervan door when I got up in the morning...the temp was in the low 20s.
There was not a stick of firewood anywhere -- except for the post the sign was on.

It made a beautiful 16x20 silver gelatin print -- the tonality the Type55 negative gives matched the scene (and Ilford Gallery, grade 3) wonderfully. There was a long streak in the sky due to a roller -- took much time to spot out.

I "developed" the film back at home, as was my habit with Type55 Polaroid. Of course it necessary due to the cold, but I usually waited anyway. I was more interested in the film/negative than the 'instant' part of Polaroids.

Hopefully some BLM or FS employee was enjoying the irony as they posted the sign!

From the same outing with Corran, day was getting into the 60F range and the ice was in full retreat. Tmax 400 in rodinal, 150mm lens.

"No Firewood Cutting"

I still need to figure out the best way to post images -- it's only been 15 years since I posted my first image here. :p
