Your rig

[2F/2F]

Anyone ever been out shooting, and you go to get something from your bag or such, and you look back at your camera and realize what a beauty it is sitting there on sticks in the environment, and have to take a pic? Well, that happened to me yesterday morning. Yes, it is idiotic, but not such a bad thing to love one's tools in addition to what the the tools let you do. I am interested to see others' LF rigs in service on a shoot. Any pix? I won't post until there are a couple of takers.

Not my most used LF camera, but here's me with the 11x14" American Optical, which is probably the most picturesque--

I do have a shot I took of my new Shen Hao in Cuba...but it was taken with my digital P&S... *walks away embarassed*

Like the cape David.

I am never out with more than one camera at the time so no pics. I should probably change that. I know how you feel though.

Great shots, Tim, and gorgeous camera. David, your camera is drool worthy.

About the digicam comment...Is that the rule here? No digicam pix even for a post like this one?

[David A. Goldfarb]

Heh. With a traditional darkcloth I'd rather put it over my shoulders and flip it over the camera for viewing than attach it to the camera back, but when I have the Black Jacket I attach it to the camera.

Here's a self-portrait with Tech V 4x5" handheld on the Chicago Navy Pier this past December. I finally souped this neg yesterday.

1951 Deardorff. Born same year as me.

Shooting in the studio over the winter,
looked around and saw her posing under a softbox
with new lens for my old eyes.

Got to tell you df... from both an engineering POV and an asthetics POV, there is nothing like a Deardorff. It's just a stunning package. I just want to sell all my other cameras. (Except maybe the working Kalart Press, and maybe my original 4x5 Speed, and I think I'll keep the 3x4 rb Graplex, and maybe, just maybe, one of my rb67s for portable use) (but I swear all the B&J 5x7s have to go!). None of them has seen much action since my V-8 has come into the studio.
