Pete, those images are really nice. the glare certainly adds something.

Roger, I missthose thick films. And my old Graphic View 4x5 with the red leather bellows.

I still have one handy. You can tell I was enjoying the process. But over the Atlantic highlands at 2000 ft with the door open in late fall, it was cold even with double gloves.

I was thinking of one like this.

But I had a couple of Speed graphics, too. The focal plane shutter would almost rip the camera from your hands if you weren't careful.

I had a lovely ancient Kodak 137mm lens on the Graphic View. I'd had the lens recoated and liked the quality of images I got from it. Sold the camera and the lens for $100. I wish I'd just kept it.
