Sometimes I forget we have a stats interface to our repository. Looks like a pretty steady growth rate.
Dashboard showing 4,596,091 bags, 1.7 PB, and 520,157,339 files. A line chart illustrates steady growth in running totals from 2009 to 2026.

Sometimes you really have to stretch to fit the negative on the scanner. This is from a Roundshot 35/35s by Seitz

It has been a long time since I had the chance to walk through Central Park. This is from a trip I took to New York in March. Noblex Pro 06/150u Kodak TriX 400 #noblex150 #noblex150u #kodaktrix #kodak
A wide-angle, black-and-white panoramic photograph of a park landscape, likely Central Park, during late autumn or winter. In the foreground, a rocky outcrop sits in the lower-left corner, throwing long shadows across a vast, grassy lawn covered with fallen leaves. Bare, leafless trees are scattered throughout the midground, framing a glimpse of a body of water and a distant bridge in the center. A lone individual walks across the open field near a small shrub. In the far background, the silhouettes of city buildings and high-rises rise above the tree line under a clear sky.

I've always liked taking photos of these tire shops when I visit Brooklyn. Noblex Pro 06/150u Kodak TriX 400 #noblex150 #noblex150u #kodaktrix #kodak
A black and white photograph of an urban street corner showing a closed tire shop with graffiti-covered roll-down gates. Numerous tall stacks of black car tires are lined up along the sidewalk directly in front of the shop. A white van is parked on the street adjacent to the tires, and a graffitied utility box sits in the foreground on the left. Bare trees and city buildings are visible down the street in the background.

I’ve always been a fan of ultra-wide views. Naturally when I started with 8x10 I was on the quest for the widest I could reasonably go on the Wehman. I think 110mm is where I landed. Wehman 8x10 Schneider 110mm f/5.6 Super-Symmar XL Ilford Ortho Plus f32 @ 2 sec #largeformat

Giving the Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110mm f/5.6 a try on the Wehman 8x10. We will see how this turns out.

Had the chance to do some shooting with the Linhof today. For those that like to see pictures of how cameras fit into cases, here is the Technorama 617s III and some of its lenses (72, 90, and 110) in a Pelican 1525 Air case.
