...but you can see it from here.
Hi everyone! I'm Jim Galli, Tonopah, Nevada.
Not too sure I'll be a perfect fit here. I have a D200 and I use digital cameras all day long in my day job, but that isn't where my heart is at photographically.
I love Large Format. Primitive LF at that. I'm most at home behind a 1920's Kodak with some old brass lens no ones' ever heard of set wide open with a Packard shutter behind it. What can you say? If you relax looking at the world upside down and thinking about what the scene will look like in black and white, you may as well have a little TV set of a ground glass to look at. My most used camera is an old Kodak 2D 8X10. It's like an old pair of shoes. I can see something and get that camera set up and ready faster than most of you can fire up the digital and set your menu's how you want them.
So, occasionally I may have an intelligent question about digital workflow, but not often. I have my little workflow that I do almost every time for digital stuff for my customers. But more often perhaps you can think of me when you have questions about ancient cameras and lenses.
Take a stroll through my web pages when you have some time to kill. I haven't taken the time to build a fancy web site. My pages are blog style and simplicity itself. It's all about the pictures and what was happening around them. Usually I'm testing out some old lens that was at the bottom of a box of crap I bought on Ebay. For argument sake I will go out on a limb and say I feel the 1915's soft focus portrait and pictorial lenses shining their images onto a giant sheet of film can create something that is still unique. A little of it get's through in a 70kb .jpg but to really get a feel for the work you need to look at some of the traditional wet dark room prints.
This'll be fun. Glad to meet you all.
