Camera Talk

I picked up this project again after remaining undecided about how to develop the film. I gave up on the idea of using the taco-method and I think I will go for the Stearman Press SP-445. I just need to find someone with a 3D-printer to make the necessary adapters to fit 9x12 negs in the 4x5 holders...

Really nice work from her! I love the colours! You can be rightfully proud of her.
