    Todd, people always have an issue with people spending money and perceived value. The way I see it, we work, we work hard to support ourselves and families. I turned 50 years old last year and went out and purchased my first Leica camera. Yes, it cost a lot, yes I had some people mock me for spending the money ' on a camera ' I don't, care, I work and and I want to enjoy life. Since owning my Leica camera, I have enjoyed photography more. When people say new gear doesn't make your photography better, I 100% disagree, I have gone out more and appreciated photography more since starting with my new Leica, Cheers from Australia, love your work.

    I love your photos and the approach. I am curious to know how you get in touch with your subjects and get them to agree to a photoshoot? I'd like to do similar, but this first crucial step can be a tricky one particularly with introverts like myself. Once I have a subject in front of my camera I'm comfortable and fine with getting the shot - it's just the first bit that is tougher!

    I'm curious how you dated it to 1909. Is there a table of serial numbers somewhere on the net? I'd like to be able to date mine more accurately. It's listed in Gundlach catalogs until at least 1925. Yours must be a deluxe model of some sort as the others I've seen are chrome plated rather than the then brand-new stainless steel on yours. Great cleaning job, looks new!

    • @toddkorolphoto
      @toddkorolphoto 18 днів тому

      Yes they are great, but if you are just starting out in large format I would try a 4x5 before jumping into 8x10, and learning how a large format camera works and if you like the process. You just need a couple of trays to develop film.

    • @josephfilm73
      @josephfilm73 13 днів тому

      The highlights come out better on film. It has a less processed look. The colors look more subdued, less neon- or videogame-like. There's more presence in the shots. You don't have any digital artefacts. Objects that are in the background fade and blend away better (no nyquest limit). There will be specks of dust and dirt. The amount of information (in large format) will dwarf any digital image, in both resolution and color information. Digital has to guess by interpolation 2/3 of its color information. It has to then assign each pixel a number with color information. The pixels are lined up in nice neat rows. Film has tiny ink clouds which are spread out randomly. Digital, by my estimate, looks more clinical and sterile, more video-game like. Film, high-end, looks sharper, more put together, with a natural look to it. If you look all day at digital images, your brain will start to like the brighter colors with less variation between shots. If you look at all film collections for a while, your brain will start to prefer the less saturated look.
