Large Format Photography

I borrowed the large format camera from school. It shoots 4x5 negatives, which are huge. It has lots of different movements, so you can create selective focus. The boy came out and volunteered to be shot (he also likes to see how the camera functions, and to look at the ground glass underneath the sheet). The negatives were difficult to develop--in a completely dark room by hand--and since they are so large, you can see any and all flaws. I had trouble getting this one clean. I printed a copy, then scanned the print and kind of cleaned it up. I don't have all night, but I wanted to post a copy of the picture. I hope to shoot some more over winter break.
