[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Been doing it in LA for years. I used to take a 4x5, but mainly a Rollei, to Labor demos. Now I take a IIIa with a 2.8cm as a back up to the digital. The one that made me take pause was seeing an 8x10 Arca-Swiss slim line, an arresting instrument in its own right, used to do portraits at SF anti-war demos. Can't wait to see the images in publication, or on a gallery wall.
