I spent a few years shooting these. Got a bunch but I'll stop here. I don't like thread hogs..

PRJ - something very "primordial" about those images...
About 10 years ago I shot 4x10 using a 121mm Super Angulon with my, since sold, Fotoman.
My 4x10 film recently arrived from Shanghai after being delayed because of Covid. I have it in the freezer.
My interest in the challenges of panorama photography have never gone away.
I now have a Linhof 4x5 TL with a Chinese back for 4x10.
I now have another 121mm SA and a 165mm SA and two old Symmar 6.8 from a hundred years ago in 240 and 270.
I am planning on touring the world starting before I turn 80 years old in 2024.
With these 4 lenses that cover 4x10 and maybe some smaller format cameras I want to use B/W which I can develop on the road.
For color I plan on taking my Sony A99II with a few old Minolta lenses.
I have been buying too much stuff lately so will start to thin the heard by offering surplus photographic items on this site.
I plan to get a satellite phone so I can upload to the internet images and words etc. in places that do not have wi-fi.
The trip should take at least 2 years and I will be towing an Airstream BaseCamp 16X with a 1996 Land Rover Defender 300tdi.
Back in 1970 my wife and I camped for 5 months in Europe traveling from Lisbon to Helsinki and down to Istanbul covering about 15K miles in our Renault R16.
I would like to re-visit a few favorite places on my way to Australia from where I plan to ship back to the US west coast.
I will have a monthly income of about US$5k from my Social Security and 2 small pensions.
I hope the Republicans do not do away with Social Security and Medicare as some have threatened. And I hope the autocrats in places like Syria, Iran, Afghanistan and Myanmar are all overthrown by their people. There is so much history in these places that I want to photograph and of course meet the long suffering people. Russia would be great to visit too, but not before Putin is "no more".
