Fresh from my hi-tech drying room come these choice images. As promised yesterday, more photos of the father-in-law.

Over the weekend I went on a trip. Not a particularly fun one, funerals seldom are. But it gave me an excuse to lug my new 4×5 camera across the US (Spokane, WA).

Currently I’m working on some photos of a local chocolatier’s wares. Here are some preliminary shots.

I’m finally getting some use out of my 1942 Speed Graphic after a couple of years of ownership. Here are some results.

You just have to build them. But they sure are pretty. Get ‘em Here!
