About the size of a shoe box, this vintage camera is in beautiful condition for its age. Built around 1910, this camera held 4×5 inch glass or metal plates. It is simple to use, just a larger version of a brownie. I have loaded her up with two, freshly prepared aluminium plates, and will give it a test run soon.
Here are the results. Overcast day. Two second exposure. This was fun
A New York based photographer who still shoots film. Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work. View more posts
