My Aunt lived in Hyannis, and her mother was the chief cook at the compound. Her brother was the groundskeeper.
My dad was a professional Photographer who used a Speed graphic. He hated Polaroids, so this picture was taken with my Aunt’s camera.
Then I went back to the darkroom to assisting Dad with the huge negatives from the Speed Graphic. I thought it was marvelous that one could squeeze some nasty goo onto the film and wait a few minutes for a picture to develop itself! LOL!
cool coincidence ...my dad too.. was a professional.
the collection of cameras nest to his darkroom was a wonder to behold.
there are still a lot of people who use the large format film cameras even given the price of silver...there days.
I laid off making photographs for well over thirty years before diving back into it about a dozen years ago.
