sisalikWow. Okay. I never thought I'd be saying this, but Acie is made out of amazingness and things even better than amazingness that I don't have the words for, and she's rigged things so that I genuinely do need to ask:
Anyone here know anything about the care and feeding of large format cameras?
She's managed to snag me one of these beauties. It was made in 1948. Not just the camera, either. It's got TOYS. Quoth she: "flash attachment with filters." She also says, "There is film half used. Don't know what's on it. Bellows are in great shape. Looks like plate on the back." [This has been translated from text-speak, as I can't put that in my journal.] Knowing Ace, it's probably stocked with the best in exploding bulbs that make you blind. You, not me, because I'll be behind it.
All I really know at this point is that, 1, I need to find another source of even more difficult film, and, 2, I can try my hand at real tilt-shift. Well. That, and I'm going to pwn the hell out of the package photogs at Jen's wedding. Graflex = chutzpah. Just ask Weegee.
