This makes me happy on Thanksgiving. I got my friend's daughter (my buddt) to shoot a few shots on my 4x5. Hopefully, I've given her the bug of photography.

@bader_diedrich We used to get off school for Lee Jackson day but not Martin Luther King. I was in school in the 80s in Virginia. They also heavily taught that the civil war was not about slavery but state's rights. God awful history education.

I decided to take my 4x5 camera down to the ocean in between storms. This is a foggy view of the oceanfront. On a side note, I don't recommend long exposures on the sand with a huge camera. It does not work well together/sinking tripod. shot on Ilford FP4 for the FP4 party
