Looking at your camera and reading the account of printing a photo, it seems so complex, but esthetically the whole process is very appealing, in a geeky sort of way. From the links in your post I looked at the Flickr group for Cambo cameras. It seemed like the process allows the production of very large scale high quality prints and there are, surprisingly, many other afficionados around the world. Your photo here is excellent in tone and texture as vyeko pointed out. Thanks for sharing.
No question, with a 4'' by 5" negative you can produce very large scale images and yes- being able to truly "make" a photo from start to finish has a real appeal. Watching the print develop in the tray is really an amazing feeling. Don't get me wrong, I still really enjoy my digital camera - but it left me wanting to understand how we got to where we are today and to learn the craft of making a photo by hand.
