Hi Folks:

I went to the Brimfield Antique Flea Market a little over a week ago... 
<http://www.hemenway.com/Brimfield-07132007/>

While there I bought this quarter-glass-plate camera.

I wanted to take some photos with it but don't have any glass plates,
especially in Ektachrome.

So I cut some pieces of poster board and discovered that 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 would
fit perfectly, and that the springs behind the film would push it against
the film plane just as it would with a glass plate.

I cut some 4x5 to size and shot a couple of photos at Lanes Cove on Sunday
afternoon.

My lab graciously offered to do a special E-6 run for the odd size.

Here's the results:

Life can be fun.

Jim
