DSS 93: New to me

I have had to completely rebuild and reinvent my life this year. I got rid of almost everything I own to just start over. Thanks goodness. It's been a hell of a ride to boot!
One of the things I did was start taking photography seriously. But I found that shooting digital was a little too fast paced for me, so I decided to work on the basics. The best way I felt was to shoot film. But I wanted a full manual camera. So what to get? I dug around eBay for awhile, and felt that an old press camera would be a good start. With that in mind I began my search. After looking for a while I found my camera. It was the camera, the case, film holders, the flash and so on. Just what I was looking for! It had a little history to it too, that's always a nice touch. So on a huch I pulled the trigger and got a camera that was what I was hoping for and so much more. I've come to love using the ground glass, and getting faster at using the range finder. I have taken it all kinds of silly places, and have spent a lot of time hanging out of the back of helicopters with it.
So with that I give you my something old:
My Graflex Speed Graphic.
From the USS Alabama Circa 1945
I'm going to see if I can get a better lit photo of this camera. Feel free to CC
