i miss that era of photography so much.

i did. i built a full studio, and had a trailer on the side of the house that functioned as darkroom, and editing room.
but i preferred to shoot outside in places i had never been before. and yes. i know what you mean…
the balance of planning, serendipity and craft with a camera in the wild was wonderful, utter magic
this old metal foundry in the south puget sound on the water had clear sun in the early evening, and the light would also reflect off of the water, so you got double the light exposure. plus there was sort of an unusual silver element to the light itself. 
for some reason this made me think of Edvard Brun’s (pseudonym) videos of lenticular clouds over Mt Ranier.
did you ever see these?
