Thank you, Bill! It's a lot of work, what we do. Good news is, it's pretty fun, too.

Thank you, Phil. That means a lot coming from you.

John! You've emigrated from Whidbey, I see. I've heard good things about Madison. Thanks for the good wishes and take care.

Eighteen 8x10 portraits that I shot in a portable sky-light portrait studio at a music festival between 2016 and 2019 are now hanging in Old Town Cafe in Bellingham, WA. The work will...

I went to Europe for six weeks in the summer of 2019 with an 8x10 Kodak Master Camera. You can see pictures of my setup in the later parts of the following thread:

I don’t want this to hijack this thread, but it’s so closely related that it hardly warrants a thread of its own. I have a little pandemic road trip coming up across the western states and...

Welcome, Jason!

I'm in Bellingham. There are a few others in and around Seattle and out on Whidbey Island.

Take care-

Way to go, Marco! Really well done, both the photographs and the films of your setups. I really do think this makes an excellent resource for others.

Cheers,

That Rembrandt light is fantastic. That clock! Good God. What's the story here?

Thank you. They're performers, obviously. I shot this on the back side of the portrait tent that I set up a music festival last August. The backdrop directly behind them is a red blanket that I took...

Four 8x10 portraits made with a Kodak Master Camera and a 10” Wollensak Vitax. I printed these on Ilford glossy warmtone fiber paper (as ever).

Thank you, Ben. The tree and my friend Melanie and the lens get 88% of the credit.

I pretty much shoot portraits exclusively, but lo and behold, I made a picture of a tree. This is at Rosario Beach on Fidalgo Island. If you saw the movie Captain Fantastic, this is the cliffside...

Ha! Thank you. Here is my circus wagon. I built the cabinet to hold lenses and film holders and all the hardware. The cabinet straddles the tail of the camera.

Harold, I'm really happy that you've found this thread beneficial. I find the work of the practitioners in this community really inspiring.

Thank you, Randy. I’m not fully satisfied with either portrait, but I had fun making them.

This work is as strong as any I've seen.

Those are terrific. I love the candid shot in the camp.

Here's a 4x5 glass plate negative that I bought last spring and just got around to printing:

The fellow is posing with his stereoscope. The book next to him on the table is titled,...

Oops!

He just sent me better photos of the camera. It is a Rochester Optical Stereo Poco.

So, I guess my question is instead, does anyone have one of these, and, if so,...

Does anyone have one of these?

A fellow is offering to sell me one for a good price, but it is apparently missing the divider to split the image on the film. Otherwise, he says that it is...
