yes; a Taylor-Hobson single.
Exposure? Always with a cap, indoors. Paper? Always platinum or
palladium--sometimes with a gum coating to help out.

DRAGGING A VIEW CAMERA THROUGH THE SANDS

_See __Sand Dunes_

For want of a smaller one, I had the courage to drag a 61/2x81/2 Eastman view
camera through the sand one late afternoon in September, to make my
picture of the "Sand Dune." I used a Struss lens stopped to F 11, a
Standard Orthonon plate, an Iso three-times ray filter, and gave it as
short an exposure as I could with a cap. I use a cap because I tell
myself it is less mechanical and because I do not happen to possess a
shutter.

I developed the plate with Activol and printed it on sepia Palladiotype to
try to give it that quality of sunlight which I saw falling upon the sand,
the waving dune grass, and the sea beyond.
