wow, i absolutely love glass plates. it's amazing how photography and its techniques have changed. a good picture too. maybe i just wished your watch was not there... but still, looks great.
i wish i had some more 108 film to give away.....

^ I wish I had more of this 108, its beautiful, I'm very grateful for it I quite like the watch, I did another version but the hand blended to much into the shadow, the watch gives the wrist a shape. The plates are beautiful, I really shouldn't have bought them as i'm trying to get rid of everything but nevermind. at the moment its a frantic race to see who can reply to each others comments quickest!

lovely term - "lens snob". hehe. we should make a button. or t-shirts.
again, a wonderful link. you can smell the history. it was like that in the back rooms of the museum (and no, they are not accessible. they work there, nice light, old wooden glass cabinets, all full of stuff to get catalogized and researched. nice. yes, mini heaven. where time stoods still and all is full of time, past, present and future, at the same moment)
ah, and no, my plate doesn't smell - maybe because it's not developped?
oh, and for found images - i am carrying around a minox b with me for years now, and never ever developped a single film. some where already 30 years old. joanna is checking if developping in poland might be cheaper. guess it'll be a bit like that when I'll see the images one day..

^ Did Joanna show you her found images from the war? they're great...although there is a real sense of loss in them. There is a place in the uk that would develop that film, but they are far from cheap, I'd love to see the images when you get them. I'm sorry to ruin your basmati rice......I have a great image of you in my head sniffing the glass plate while your rice burns in the background "mmmm thats funny its getting stronger" Lens snob t-shirts now thats a great idea, we'll have to get joanna a special one, although on that point the lens that i used for this pictue is an old 3 element which cost £3 but im still going to be snobby about its exclusivity!

(when lens snobs meet blurry images.. oh, man, one day we really have to meet. you know what? I have an undeveloped glassplate, found it in the filmholder of my graflex, so now hopelessly exposed. but I can't toss it. what shall I do? send it with snailmail to Xposed?)
oh, and - you are really going to put it in the BOTTOM of the box? lol
btw: I've been in the back rooms of the latvian museum of photography lately... wood.. leather.. glass.. plates to archive.. selfmade panorama cameras (plus images made with it).. mmh :))

^ wondered how long before you found my lens snob comment :o))) and yes your right the bottom of the box would be quite stupid. »link have you come across this? I like the idea of found film even if there's no image. Sounds strange but does your glass plate have a really strange smell? are the back rooms in the museum not normally accesible? sounds like a mini heaven .

hmm..you made it to take a pola with you instead of the glassplate? or to file it here, digitally... ;-)
yeah, nice tone, image and words. I recognized the 108 :-)
well chosen

^ haha ;o), yes the glass plates are going in the bottom of a large box...it seemed crazy to buy them and hoard them away but thats the collector in me. The pola will probably end up in the same box as well, so stored here digitally will give me something to look at. Unfortunately I couldn't hold the plate still so the sharpness of it is a bit lost here. I thought you would spot the irony of this first being turned to a pola(not very stable) and then to digital (possibly even less stable)

nice treatment of a delicate subject Hugh. love that tone.
you might say that it has an overall VINTAGE quality about it.

^ Thanks, I got lucky, great subject, and great film to shoot it
