[LargeFormat] prewar Speed Graphic

[Brock Nanson]

It was even more fun in the 70's... my father was a science teacher and they
had a small (40cm, 1kg!) helium neon laser for experiments.  I used to shoot
it out the second floor window of his lab at night onto the snow in front of
people walking their dogs... back then a laser wasn't exactly a household
toy so you can imagine the reactions I got...  The best ones were the
nervous glances at the sky looking for little green men joy-riding...
