    Here's another whimsical image from my library. I don't own this particular picture and cannot recall where I found it to give proper citation. But let's face it, this picture demands lots of commentary - in other words, let loose with those captions!

    The camera is a c.1904 8" x 10" Century No.7 studio view sitting atop a Semi-Centennial No.1 stand. This is the standard of turn-of-the-century studio cameras; a real work horse. My collection includes a fine example of this same set up. It's a joy to use.

    And for those who are wondering, this is not a self-portrait.

      "You have to put clothing ON for me to take this Picture" !!!!!!!!!!!!
    2. rniederman rniederman, 11 years ago
      Thanks, bratjdd! The camera came from a portrait studio in Oconto, WI. in the early 1980s. The photographer (the original owner) had died and I assisted sorting through all the equipment so that the family could sell for good money. For my efforts, the camera ended up being a birthday present! There were a lot of negs with the camera. I made prints and returned everything to the family. In retrospect, I should have made copies because there was a lot of fascinating stuff.

      I had a Sinar 4/5 with great lens in 1990s
    27. filmnet filmnet, 11 years ago
      I also sold Deerdorf 8/10 from 1901 from a friend who worked in a huge compny and retired in 1976, USM used Deardorf's since 1900-1970s the cameras worn out.i have a 8/10 neg B/W of the men who started this company 1895, look for this on here, Steve
    28. rniederman rniederman, 11 years ago
      Hi filmnet ... it's always nice to meet others who shot large format film ... I've shot formats up to 11x14. My father owned a Chicago based furniture manufacturing company (1950s - 70s), and pictures of the furniture were shot by a studio using Deardorff 11x14 'dog-house' cameras. If you want to learn more about Deardoff, I suggest visiting Ken Hough's website: http://deardorffcameras.0catch.com ... he is a former employee who also restores their cameras.
