Hi Bibb,
Thanks for your contributions! Nice.
I have a friend whose Father knew Shulman, because he lived nearby to him. He was also an accomplished photographer, so he appreciated Shulman and his work. He FREAKED OUT when I mentioned I was a fan. I have all of Shulman's books and the excellent video (it's great narrated by Dustin Hoffman). Even have a homemade looking book which shows the construction of his home, in many detailed construction photos. I also enjoy Ezra Stoller's work (he used 8x10 Norma too). Stoller's work is completely different from Shulman's, he preferred more rectilinear views to my eyes. Some look almost like architectural drawings.

8x10 Sinar Norma Julius Shulman Titlall Setup 1 by Nokton48, on Flickr
My 8x10 Norma works good on this, just don't bump it, and it's fine. This is right out of Shulman's book, it worked for him, and it works for me. He would tilt the camera, then level the standards, so he was using indirect movements. Might be sturdier that way. This one has the 121mm F8 Norma Rabbit Ear Shutter lens. Mucho Deluxe-O. And 8x10 Sinarsix TTL Metering.
Here's the teaser to the Award Winning Shulman Video:

It is beautifully made and emotionally moving.
