I miss my trusty speed graphic camera, so old, with fading bellows that made one shutter.
It worked like a charm.
I should never have sold and long for it, along with that eight frame film holder, oh brother.
What a development that was.
It fixed me for good, l tell you!
The camera was the perfect format for scenic postcard photography to shoot. With a tripod, on the ground glass, it forced one to slowdown to really study the view, like a canvas on an easel because proper composition is always the root. Simplicity is the key, between just looking and truly learning to see. What belongs, what needs to be removed, oh me. When it comes to good composition, the same principles apply in today's modern digital photography.
