Many acronyms have been created for the letters in “Ford”. Most of them are unflattering. I’m a big Ford fan, so I’ve created a positive acronym for F.O.R.D. – “Forgotten Old Relic Discovered”. This old Ford is resting peacefully by the side of the road in Crawfordville, Florida. I bought some infrared filters for my TL-120 and shot a few rolls of Kodak Aerochrome on that trip. This is one of the results. This particular strain of Aerochrome can be (and was) processed in E6 chemistry. The film is rated at 400, and I took exposure readings through the TL-120’s meter. The metering lens also had an infrared filter on it. I much prefer to photograph old wrecks and decaying cars over restored vintage vehicles (even though I do appreciate restored vintage vehicles). It’s been said many times, but if only these old rust-buckets could talk!

All of these images were taken with my Sputnik which was tuned/rebuilt by Ted Baskin. All taken with tripod. The exposure is unrecorded but most likely using f/32 (or whatever is all the way past f/22 on my Spud) and 1/25 second on Provia 100.
- Beach “Cottage”, Naples Florida
The public beach at Naples Florida gives views of many such humble abodes. Note the Sea Grapes and Sea Oats in the foreground. A little dark, but I still like it. - Cypress Trees
Near the Kirby Storter boardwalk in the Big Cypress Swamp area of south Florida - Shoreline at Solbakken Resort, Lutsen MN
The Lake Superior shoreline is one of my favorite places, with special charm in winter. I try to visit every Jan or Feb, as well as once or twice yearly during other seasons. - Lake Superior Ice Breakup
Unlike smaller MN lakes, the big lake does not freeze over completely in the winter. But during periods of calm more sheltered areas will freeze, then will break up periodically due to wave and wind action and the sheets of broken ice pile up along the shore. The sound when it is breaking up is also awesome (in the original sense).
