In This Land - Issue 5 - Film Photography Zine

I set out on a daytrip to dodge the rain and shoot with three cameras I almost never use. First was the Graflex RB, Series B - a boxy 1947 2x3 120 shooter. Second was a Baby Graflex, also a 2x3. And finally, my normal Crown Graphic with a 6x7 120 roll back. I also shot the Crown with regular 4x5 sheets.

Since I wasn't used to shooting with these cameras in these ways, it was a very frustrating shooting day. Despite that, I had such a wonderful time. I mapped out the trip to explore roads that I had never been one, while hitting a few towns that I've visited many times before. It was a lovely combination of old and new.

I traveled through three (and sort of four) counties: Franklin (and a bit of Adams), Whitman, and Columbia. I've divided this little zine to reflect that. The photos are mostly in chronological order.

The stars here are the lenses and the skies. I can't believe my fortune with the skies. The light cooperated much of the day, appearing along with abandoned houses, old cemeteries and empty fields. Though the shooting was difficult, the views came easy, and the photos, I think, reflect this.

It's all b&w, 40 pages, 5.50" X 6.87".
