When you can take a selfie in the lens, it's a big camera.

Tachihara 4x5 or 8x10? I can’t judge the size by the picture…those are beautiful cameras, I regret to have traded mine for a Chamonix
Well spotted! It’s 8x10.

The woman in the wig is a Principal with some ballet company. I didn't think people like that really existed. She started talking about how the Uber driver had ignored her and that her life was now over. Then continued to talk about herself nonstop. The photographer had a different way of getting expressions from each subject. (He asked me to imagine Nancy Pelosi dressed only in red high heels. That's the "porn" criterion for this thread.) He asked her to remember taking a bow at her first appearance with <major ballet company>. She glowed. (I ask Soup to look surly. He usually complies.)
In keeping with the age of the camera, the process was wet-plate. Here's me thinking about Ms. Pelosi. The overlay of terror is the anticipation of the two 4000Ws power packs unleashing their fury on the ISO 1 emulsion.

Thinking about nude politicians is one way to create a facial expression. Another way to envision a selfie stick for 8 x 10.
Nothing remarkable about this until you consider the size of the lens relative to the Sinar board. 200 mm grandagon taken with a 240 mm apo sironar S (I think, but might be macro). Now, where did I put that selfie stick?

Very much, thank you. In my experience, photography is a long series of happy accidents occasionally spiced with skill.
