I decided to have some fun with a house fan dating from a time when these things were made in the United States. The skylight in my studio provided the illumination. I used a Zone V! view camera and Tmax 100 developed in Tmax developer. The lens on my camera was a home-made 170mm soft focus design at an aperture of f/9. The hardest part was getting the right amount of blur on the blades, which required a bit of experimentation. I gave the blades a spin with my hand and snapped an exposure of 1/10 second just before the blades came to rest.
