Thank You Uncle Dick for the kind words. Truth be told, I have only
been taking pictures now for about 18 months.
I have purchased "Using the View Camera" and I already own the
trilogy of books by some guy named "Adams" which I plan on reading again
(especially the parts I skipped over about those cameras that look like
they were made in 1920.. )
This coming weekend I will be traveling to San Francisco and my
girlfriend and I are going to rent a 4x5 camera. If it rains, we will
settle for a 645..
I had forwarded your replies to her and she thought we should
definitely take you up on your offer for a beer.
I told her I was game providing she pays the airfare to Oz.
She hasn't replied yet.
Thanks again to all for the help.
As I stated, I am going to rent this weekend and then when the
weather turns warmer here in Montreal rent again and if it still appeals
to me I have been in contact with a Jim from Badger Graphic over a Shen
Hao..
But first let's see if I am not insane.
J
