Introduction

In 2006, my friend Dave showed me some Polaroids that a former co-worker of his was making in California with his 4x5 Speed Graphic. We were thinking about how cool that must be, and I remembered that my dad had one. He had it on display in his studio for a few years, and never used it. A fellow photographer had retired and dad bought some of his gear, including this camera.

So, I asked my dad if he had a Polaroid back for the camera, which he didn’t. But he offered me the camera and gave it to me around thanksgiving 2006. I’ve been making large format pictures with it ever since. I’ll be posting pictures and stories as much as I can.
