5x4

This is the first picture that I ever made with a 5x4 camera. I think at the moment then I fell in love with the experience. The simple regimented process that you have to follow to make every picture, and even the physical effort to make a photograph, more than even using a full frame digital or medium format film camera. The bulk and weight are really something else. I think this image is really a premonition of my project Untitled Kairos ( http://petethor.co.uk/untitled-kairos/ ), and especially those photographs that I shot with a 10x8 camera in a similar location!
