Some of these photos were made in the late '70's, early '80's and just processed within the past year (2021). Most made with 120 Tri-X Pan. I carried 2 Med format cameras, a Pentax 6x7, and a Rollie SL66 2 1/4 x 2 1/4. Both produced some wonderful images. Even tho the film was 40 years old before it was processed, I was able to get images like these from those rolls.

A very, very, very poor man's Leica. I purchased an identical camera in 1961. All metal, no meter, no battery, manual focus film camera. What a great little camera.
This image was made with a 4x5 Tachihara, a Calumet 210mm Caltar II s lens. It was made on a rig road north of Grand Junction, CO, in the bookcliff mtn's . Temp was in the 20's F. About a mile back to the left I passed a oil/gas rig on fire. The flames were like a vertical blow torch about 50-60 feet high. The lower half of the derrick had collapsed due the intense heat and no one in sight, and it was very, very loud. But this scene was so serene I had to stop and try to get an image. In the original, the fog was much heavier. PS
