Uncle Joe, my Noblex swing lens panoramic camera, is back from Precision Camera Works. Joe was having his drive transfer wheel rebuilt, as well as a CLA. We'll be heading out in the morning and get reacquainted.

Life has been getting in the way the last couple of months but today I finally had time to get back in the darkroom. A bit of a slow start with a few careless mistakes, but all went smother than expected.

I had a little free time to to get out and take advantage of another beautiful foggy morning. I stopped along Old Ten Mile Road to photograph this picturesque old barn and loading chute.

I found this large rock while exploring the side roads in Etowah, TN. It looked out of place sitting there on the pavement next to a stucco wall.

The courtroom in the historic Rhea County courthouse, home of the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. I made this photograph, I'm guessing, around 1980 or 81, back when it was still in use.

Thank you, or as they say in Norway, tussen takk.
The name of the formation, Trollpikken, translates to troll's dick. From the other side, where the trail approaches it, I could see that. But from this angle looks to me like a troll's head with a big nose.

You need to put that RB back to work. It's a great, but heavy, camera.
Thanks. Converging verticals, unless it's intentional, really bother me. Sometimes I think it's something only photographers, especially large format photographers, notice.
