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?

That camera looks like a view camera with an 8x10 inch film plate. I've got a book about Adams somewhere, IIRC he did use a Hasselblad in the '60s. He got his start with a Kodak Brownie. Al_in_Ottawa
I saw a print of Adams's Moonrise: Hernandez New Mexico at the Art Institute of Chicago once. Since it was shot on an 8x10 negative I could damn near put my nose to the glass and not see any grain in the print.

I guess you could say his work literally gave him a woody. Or paid for one, whatever.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Packard or a Buick..,
ReplyDeleteGood-looking car
ReplyDeleteI have three of his books. The Camera, The Negative , and The Print.
