I still have a working Graflex 4x5 SLR.  Current SLR owners don't know what
mirror bounce and shutter lag are.  When I was a kid (in Glendale) I stuck
an enlarging lens on it and used it as a close-up camera.  It's a neat
relic.

About 2 years ago the L.A. Central Library had an exhibit of the Getty's
Edward Weston collection.  I'm almost sure there were enlargements -- prints
over 8 x 10 -- in that exhibition that were claimed to be originals by
Edward.  I recall being surprised at the time because I had always thought
of him as a contact printer.
