To come back to large format photography . . .why use film today? Why do folks use wet-plate technology or any other home-brewed technique like Platinum/Paladium, Albumin pr even Daguerreotype?

    I'm so lucky because my woman has even carried my 8 x 10 backpack while I carried my 8 x 20 backpack. Now we use the double wide stroller when we can. Life is good! Oh, did I mention contact prints!!

    Who pushes the two of you in the stroller? My wife wasn't able to carry her own purse, much less a camera. I have a little cart to haul my stuff, no woman.

    [QUOTE=Liquid Artist;1232354]The only reason why I don't have a ULF is because it was hard enough hiding my 5x7 from my future wife. How would I ever hide a 11x14?

    I believe you actually hide behind the 11x14 which is large enough to count as a fortification....

    If you get a 20x24 you can live in it, which is handy when you get kicked out after buying a 20x24... :whistling:

    Do you flip left to right and view it standing on your head?

    So Randy; I guess that your wife won't let you use the big TV?
