Jeff is the perfect person to capture the battle, great stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating to me that hobbyists still do all the hard work of old-fashioned photographs.
ReplyDeleteThat is really neat, I haven't seen anyone do that!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool camera! I'm glad we've advanced beyond that technology, but it's cool nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteI give credit to people who do these things. I used to develop my own film and print all my own photos in a home darkroom. It is so nice to be able to do it digitally these days.
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrific camera. From what I recall of the original technology of that time, it was a time consuming process!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that camera takes some nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were still people out there taking photos with this old technology. I checked out his site and those photos are impressive.
ReplyDeleteThere's a guy that does this near the palace in Versailles but I'll have to check because I think it might be digital, lol. Unlike here. This is great!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect exhibit for a photoblogger!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to show the photo? :)
Do we get to see the photo? Interesting stuff. I checked out Black Paw Studio and was very impressed.
ReplyDeleteVery good, I wish I had an experience with that old camera!
ReplyDeleteYour top shot is spot on. I did learn how to process film in my younger years but so glad to stick with the digital stuff now. Love all the shots!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what your family's picture came out like. The photos on his site are so cool!
ReplyDeleteInteresting work on this post!! I think I'm like Brian who commented above...the history and equipment is fascinating, but I like the 'new' technology best.
