I relate to this. When I have days like this I think about my dad’s love of fishing. Some days he didn’t always come home with some keepers but the time he spent enjoying something he loved to do is what mattered.

Taken while on a Winter walk a few years back.

I wish you great luck and enjoyment.

I dove into LF a couple of years ago when I purchased a Shen Hao 4x5. I love it! It’s definitely more of a challenge than any digital camera. Finding compositions is akin to composing for plein air painting.

I say toss him out!

The holders are from a 4x5 dip and dunk development tank. Although, I use a Stearman Press 445 tank for developing but I found the holders are great for drying negatives.

Thanks to @TadTadd on YouTube, I learned why I’m getting blank frames with my Mamiya 330.

A cold and rainy day = darkroom time.

Street Repose

In my small darkroom I use an under the bed storage container as a way to protect against spillage and drips. The dimensions are around 29”Lx15”Wx7”H. All 3 - 8x10 trays fit perfectly. The wash tray sits on an adjacent countertop.

I shot film yesterday and I’ll shoot it again today!

Thanks for the suggestions !!

Since I already have a Zenza Bronica S 6x6 and the Mamiya 330, I’m more interested in either the 6x4.5 or 6x9.

Your blog post has me intrigued. I’ve been looking for a medium format camera that’s relatively low profile. Where is the best place to purchase a good folding cam? I visited NatCam today, and didn’t see any good options. What they currently offer seems pre-1940s, mostly Kodak.

That’s the Oval Office right there.

Beautiful portrait! I love the light.

When you achieve even borders please let me know your secret. I can relate.

Love this!!

2/2 When I go out to shoot with the 4x5 or TLR, I sometimes drive around, looking for inspiration for an evening without exposing a frame. I've likened it to a fishing expedition. Sometimes you don't get a nibble. Other times you hit your limit.

Thanks for the blog post, Tom. I feel that over the past 10 years I've been fine tuning the style that I have for my portrait clients, and I'm happy with the latest results. When it comes to personal photos (a.k.a. what I want to print or hang on my wall) I feel ungrounded. 1/2

June in Grand Marais Harbor. The Elegant Sunburst Lichen (Rusavskia elegans) is ablaze in the setting sun.

Another 6x17 shot in Grand Marais, MN located on Lake Superior. I used a Shen Hao 617 Graflok back on my Shen Hao TZ 45-II B. Ektar 100, lab developed, DSLR scan.

It's just a personal feeling, but I'm not convinced America did actually vote for this. I think Elon was up to some fuckery with voting machines. Unfortunately, we probably won't see an investigation providing proof any time soon, since they're replacing everyone in the FBI/DOJ with loyalists.

Can we all agree to rebrand February 14th as "Saint Oscar's Day" and celebrate by buying ourselves a camera.

I’m in Burnsville.
