Scans of prints of Brookline Fire Department's No. 2 and No. 3 Engines. They date from 1929 and 1939, respectively. They pulled them out before the 4th of July Parade just so I could take photos


Homemade emulsion hand-coated 4"x5" dry plate in Seneca No. 2. Even cut the glass plate myself. Exposed 45s at f/11 Developed in HC-110 Dil A. Enlarged on a Dejur Professional to 8"x10" on Ilford Multigrade FB paper with No. 2 filter, developed in the same HC-110 Dil A (I was doing this after midnight and didn't want to swap developers).

Had to dodge the bright area of the '29 and burn the dark area of the '39. It was tricky to get right.

The fire department will get a framed set to hang up.

These are wonderful! They seem to have been brand loyal. The '29 chebby did a fine job for them so they bought another.

From what I've been told, the Fire Department held dances on the 2nd floor above the General Store to raise enough money to purchase the 1939.

They have a 1919 model as well, but the guys couldn't get it started to drive it out of the station. My camera would have been about 25 yrs old when they bought that one.

What a nice print it came,

From the 'Old City' here in Linköping. Negative scan and might have taken it too far, but I'll correct that when printing

Chamonix 045n-2, 135 mm, Kodak TXP.

If by having taken it too far you mean burning the highlights, then I'd disagree. I really like it exactly because of this!
Although I don't know this particular spot, I do cherish a fond memory of Linköping from when I visited it a few days for a conference. I'd love to go back one day.

Thank you!

The 'Old City' (Gamla Linköping) is located between the downtown and the University, this picture is taken from one of the café's in there.
