Forgotten Camera: Jerry Thirsty

Madison Skyline, by Jerry Thirsty

"The Graphic View II was my first view camera. I brought it out of retirement for this. Still gotta dig the red bellows and Art Deco-ish detailing. The special mount is a PITA though; it only does pitch and yaw, so to adjust the third axis you either have to fiddle with the tripod legs or add another tripod head underneath. Here's a picture of the Madison skyline, shot on Kodak E100SW with either the Caltar-II 90mm or the Caltar-II N 135mm."
