A small lake near my home in Falls Church. I took this with one of several Sputniks I have, the only one that has had internal flocking & light seals added. Unfortunately, its lenses don’t seemed to be closely matched, or maybe they just need their relative focus and their shutters adjusted. This was taken after sunset with a ten second exposure (or maybe longer). Luckily there wasn’t much wind.

This is just a small part of an amazing sculptural group in the National Memorial Park, a cemetery near my home in Falls Church, Virginia. It was made by the Swedish sculptor Carl Milles in the early 1950’s. Unfortunately the water works were out of commission when I took this picture.
I shot it in 1999 with two Mamiya C-330’s on a tripod. That was a massive rig! I can’t remember what lenses I used, but I think they were short telephotos, maybe 135’s. After a couple of outings with that setup, I basically gave up on medium format stereo, until my interest was rekindled last year.
