Not only do I love this photo, but also, I love what it was undoubtedly shot with - an 8x10 view camera, probably on a glass negative. People who have only used 35mm or even 6x6 have never enjoyed the incredible detail, grey scale, and grainlessness that big format shooting affords. But now, with the twilight of chemical film, this kind of shooting is all but gone. Digital conversion backs for large format plate cams are needed to keep them going...but just imagine the size of the RAW or TIFF files! [[100 megs a shot?)
