    There is a 40x60 shed on our property that has an overhang on the back side. Dad always used to stash stuff he didn't know what else to do with back there, and I've kind of avoided that area since inheriting the property. The other day I was poking around back there and found this. It's a high chair that probably dates back to the 40s. I'm trying to decide whether I should try to clean it up and restore it. Shot with a Hasselblad 500CM with the 80mm Planar on Bergger Panchro 400 developed in Rodinal 1:25.

    What years were you there and can you say what you were involved with? I was there from 72 to 74 while in the Air Force, stationed at Fort Meade, working for NSA.

    Michael,

    Re-finish the high chair and you will have a family heirloom used by future generations.

    My high chair was just like that one.

    If you folded the lower legs forward and up, the whole thing turned in to a "car".

    You can see one of the wheels on the left hand side at the back just above the footrest.

    One of my sisters has ours for her grandchildren.

    John, You do a wonderful job with chrome and shiny metal on all of your motorcycle engines! Any hints for the rest of us, or is it “simply” being spot on with your exposures and development?

    Thanks, I've been using Speedotron studio lights mostly - soft boxes for the chrome and spots for the engine detail. Black cloth background and white cloth foreground. I test the lighting with a digi-camera and then put my Hasselblad in place. On trips out of country I've pared it down to using a bunch of Vivitar battery-powered flashes to get a reasonable travel weight. Just for fun, drill down through "motorcycles" on my website to a set of pictures of how to shoot motorcycles with hot lights, studio flashes or battery flashes. The battery flash approach is most affordable.

    Sorry about the blur, but it was just a quick "record of shoot" in a dark garage.

    What a beauty! When I was a lad (16years old) I started work for British Steel, one of the old guys rode a Panther to and from work. He also sometimes towed a trailer with it. Myself and a handfull of other motorbike mad apprentices used to watch the old guy kick up his bike whilst waiting in the queue to clock out. The man used to tickle the carb, wind the kickstart onto compression and then take a mighty swing with his steel toe capped foundry boot. The bike always started first kick, we loved the sound of the engine it fired about the distance of every street light as he rode away into the distance. Thank you for triggering a memory.
