Very nice. I like the sharp, contrasty foreground against the more diffuse, gray background. My older brother had a 6x9 folding Kodak, starting when he was in middle school--age 12. I accompanied him in his darkroom a few times while he developed and printed. I squeegeed his glossy prints onto the shiny ferrotype plates to dry. When my brother was in high school, we lived in Anchorage, Alaska. There he was the photographer for the school newspaper, with the use of a 4 by 5-inch Speed Graphic. He had a few photos printed in the Anchorage Times. While visiting over this Christmas I admired a few Alaskan snowscapes still hanging on my brother's walls, done with the Speed Graphic. Nothing beats the old large formats for tonality and sharpness. While I was there we went through the memorabilia trunk of my mother, who passed away at age 97 a few years ago. I brought back hundreds of photos to scan, including some daguerrotypes and tintypes she inherited. I'll make CD's, or maybe DVD's for the younger generations. I'm putting together a family tree so the kids and grandkids can identify people in the photos. The family tree goes back a ways in several English and Scottish branches, one to the Black Book of the Exchequer. We have books and charts, but I'm filling in data like places of birth and residence from the web. The web facilities for family research are better than I thought. It's like solving a big puzzle. I can see how people get addicted to it. RNJ
