Recovering yet another page off my old old website... c.1990's
Recovered: Lost images...
Around a decade ago, I purchased a Burke and James 8x10 view camera outfit.
I found it at a local photo swap. It came with a few film holders, a case,
a darkcloth, and a like new mint 12 inch Kodak Commercial Ektar f/6.3 lens.
I quickly scrounged a tripod to hold the camera and headed out for a few shoots.
At the time I rode motorcycles. Lots of them. Being in the community of riders, I had access to some pretty sweet machines. So I lined my friends up and started taking photos of them with their scoots.
The images here were recovered recently. I moved to a new home and mislaid a bunch of things that I wanted to reprint. Rummaging through boxes I found some of what I was looking for. The prints here were made prior to the move. They look great. The contact 8x10 inch prints gleam and glow. There's nothing like a little film, a big camera, and subject matter. Oh, and that Ducati was mine. I later sold it to pay the mortgage off on the old place.
