And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I've got a view camera in the closet. I wonder if you can even get film for it these days?
Actually we still have an actual storefront in LA (Sante Fe Springs) that sells all film formats, chemicals and paper if you still print in the darkroom. However, It's not a cheap endeavor anymore. https://www.freestylephoto.biz
If you can, I hope you let us see the results....

You can also get digital backs -- but they require huge amounts of greenbacks.
