4x5x365 – Image 196

by Leave a Comment

I recently took my Toyo View VX-125 4×5 film camera to the vintage motorcycle races in Henrietta, Oklahoma.

What better way to photograph vintage motorcycle racing than with a vintage 4×5 film camera? Well, my Toyo View VX-125 is not exactly vintage, although I did purchase it new in 1998 or so. But the technology is pretty old – film.

I was asked by several racers “why are you shooting with that old camera and film?” My reply was “why are you racing that old motorcycle?”
