Description
I was fooling around with Photoshop and this was the result. Unfortunately, I can't remember what I did so I can't recreate it. I didn't write it down or record the actions so I'm out of luck. If you want a copy, it's available at my Zazzle gallery [link]Related content

No, it's a Speed Graphic. It's an old style press camera that was commonly used into the 1950's or so. It used 4x5 film.

There are plenty of them around, I think. You could check eBay or some of the other sites.

That's a very cool grainy effect, especially effective on an old camera like that.

That looks really cool! It's a shame you can't remember how to do it.
(Sidenote: I've always wanted a camera like that!)

Thanks, sweetie. I'm a little peeved about not taking notes. I got the camera for free from my cousin's (now ex-) husband. He was getting out of the photography business and I was getting started (this was 20 years ago) and he asked me if I wanted it. I said yes, and he gave me the camera, a couple of film holders and a how-to book. I'll use it one of these days.

Oh, what a great deal! I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures you take with it. That'll be interesting.

It'll be a while. I have a slight cash crunch right now so I can't afford darkroom time. One of these days.
