Most of these are the remaining assignments from my Commercial Photography class at UW-L. A couple were taken at the Badlands National Park were I escaped to over Thanksgiving break. The portrait was taken with my latest camera, a Crown Graphic. It was made somewhere around in the early 60's. If you remember the old pictures of the press photographers with their rather largish hand held cameras with the large flash bulb attachment, that's what it is. Basically it's a hand held 4X5 camera, and of course, large format black and white is my passion.
