[LargeFormat] Biggest is Best Maybe?

[Jim Hemenway]

Ok, 20s or 30s.  I guess that's why the prospect a moving a 20x24 off
into the woods doesn't appeal to me at age 61. 

I joke with people who ask me when I'm out with the 11x14, that there
are no good photographs more than 100 feet from the car but actually I'm
good for walking about 10 minutes with it, an LL Bean bag with three
film holders, etc., and the Majestic tripod.
