Dragging a View Camera Through the Sands
Reading edition
See Sand Dunes
For want of a smaller one, I had the courage to drag a 6½×8½ Eastman view camera through the sand one late afternoon in September, to make my picture of the “Sand Dune.” I used a Struss lens stopped to F 11, a Standard Orthonon plate, an Iso three-times ray filter, and gave it as short an exposure as I could with a cap. I use a cap because I tell myself it is less mechanical and because I do not happen to possess a shutter.
I developed the plate with Activol and printed it on sepia Palladiotype to try to give it that quality of sunlight which I saw falling upon the sand, the waving dune grass, and the sea beyond.
