I&#8217;m using an inexpensive Toyo made largely of plastic (blech) but it&#8217;s super lightweight. Way lighter than the Arca Swiss monorail camera I was using for architecture.<\/p>\n<p>I went out with the view camera yesterday morning. At 8:30am it was already getting hot, and the sky, while clear, was a bit hazy. I walked along the Brooklyn waterfront looking for distant views of One World Trade Center for my upcoming book, WTC. A few days ago, driving by, I saw some prefab housing units standing near Kent Avenue with the skyline looming behind. It didn&#8217;t seem quite so looming when I got there, but I did several photographs. For one picture I stepped a couple of feet beyond the open gate into the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A guard stationed about 200 feet away checking cars entering the yard immediately began yelling and blowing a whistle as if I had done something horribly wrong. For those of you outside of New York, this is no longer the Navy. It&#8217;s an industrial compound that hosts numerous businesses large and small. There are all kinds of innovative things going on in there.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I ignored the guard who was stuck in his little booth, took my picture, and walked away. From there I walked by 475 Kent, a controversial loft building full of artists that has been on the legal razor&#8217;s edge for work\/live spaces for some time. I don&#8217;t know anything about its current status. But a resident coming out suggested I go up to the roof. So, up I went. I did two side by side views that may be combined for a panorama later. The right hand frame can be seen above, although that&#8217;s from my digital point and shoot, not the 4&#215;5.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>East River and Brooklyn Navy Yard &#8212; \u00a9 Brian Rose Now that I am no longer using the 4&#215;5 for architectural shoots &#8212; it&#8217;s hard to believe that era is over &#8212; I have switched completely to a field view camera for my personal projects.
