    Ilford 4×5, huh? I think I’d like to give large format a go in a couple of years; after I retire. Is this a new shot; or something you shot some time ago? I love the composition, but for me it is the tones that just make this a brilliant shot. Excellent work, James; this is good stuff. Cheers! Chris

    its about 10 years old. i don’t have a working darkroom to do 4×5. unlike 35mm where you can load the tank in a closet then hit the kitchen. 4×5 sheet film needs a total light tight room with a big sink. thanks Chris for the props!

    What a unique find, It’s such a tiny old sink with such a strange water faucet. It certainly has character though, Beautiful shot JK, love the shadows and light.
