Fine bw image and suitable title Pierre.
Gorgeous memories Pierre. Had I known then what I know now, I might have devoted more time to developing really GOOD memories. As it turns out, though, the ones I have now aren't half bad.
Nice reminders of past farm life. Some of I miss, then cities took over. Not much of it left in our farm lands. Some equipment along road sides from collectors. Still interested in a old covered wagon. Im looking at aolder idea , getting a
Rolliflex system to do 120 , 2 1/4 "x 2 1/4".
I found a clip on digital back, still lower mega pixel. But maybe fun to work with. I like black an white work. Reminds me of a developer I used by kodak to process Fugi 400. Nice looking film at medium format. I still can't get the deep blacks an contrast out of digital work yet. Hopefully a shot at using older quality lens by German designers, would allow me to do better digital B&W's. Still not happy with 14 mega pixel by Nikon 35 APC system. Although color depth is good. Rolliflex had plans in the past to move towards digital , since their backs were removable. Too bad they closed MFG.
I read something about their family owners,
in a review inside American photo magazine some 12 years ago. By todays standards that would make any body by Rolliflex, being in antique range. But it might be a problem finding a battery for it. More investigation ahead. Enjoy.
Nice work, Pierre and lovely image!

There's likely not much time left for this old implement.
Thanks Karin.

I have no idea how old it would be.
Thank you Bob.

I've driven by this old farm implement countless times. It was more of a farm lawn ornament years ago, but now, it's simply abandoned. Kinda sad eh!
Thanks a Bob.

We've had a lot of freeze/thaw and freezing rain this Winter which may have done a lot of damage to this old relic. We'll find out this Spring.
Thanks Angela.
