Graphic View II 4 x 5" Large Format Camera (SOLD)
I am selling this 4 x 5 Graphic View II that I have had for at least 20 years and never used. It has stayed in its case and from everything I can see now, it is about as perfect as it could be. It is my hope that this camera will find its way to one of the die – hard photographers who still work in film and in the darkroom.
Folmer Graflex Corporation began production of the Graphic View camera in 1941, its look being starkly different than the classic wooden view cameras of the time with its all-metal, gray painted, art deco look. The Graphic View and Graphic View II use the distinctive inverted V-rail which carries a tripod mount and allows the camera to be stored upside-down in its Vulcanoid carrying case.
According to a Graflex.org article, Graflex: The View Cameras – The Graphic View, by Gerald Pierce, “The Graphic View camera has base tilts on both standards. The front standard has rise and fall (3 5/8") by operation of a locking rack and pinion mechanism. Both standards shift 5/8" either way, and tilt 26 degrees either way. Both standards also swing 12 degrees.”
Following is a list of pieces:
1 – Graphic View II w/tripod head
1 – Original “Vulcanoid” carrying case
1 – Graphex f 4.7 / 127 mm lens
1 – Schneider – Kreuznach 1:6.8 / 90 mm lens
4 – 4 x 5” film holders
1 – Short Cable Release
1 – Graphic II Instruction Manual
1 – Carson Loupe
1 – Film Loading Bag
1 – Photographer’s Dark Cloth Hood
Condition: Excellent
Materials: Metal, Glass
Price: $195 (negotiable)

James Michaels Chair Painting

Bede Clark Ceramic "Rice Bowl"
“…For me good pots are not defined by a technique but most often by a healthy balance of energy/wildness and restraint/firmness. I have always thought pots are a lot like people.”
- Bede Clark
Bede Clark is highly regarded as a ceramic artist and has exhibited extensively nationwide and internationally. I was privileged to exhibit and sell his work on a few occasions at the Dunedin Fine Art Center when he still lived in Pinellas County. He has been a Professor of Art at the University of Missouri since 1992.
This Korean inspired primitive rice bowl was a demo piece purchased from his workshop at the Dunedin Fine Art Center long ago.

Hamilton Drafting / Artist's Table - ca. 1940 (SOLD)
I have owned this beautiful antique drawing table since 1985 when I purchased it from a friend. It is in original, unrestored condition showing some wear that can only be described as the attractive patina of age and use. It looks much as it did when I purchased it as I have been careful about covering it when painting and drawing. It traveled from Gulfport to South Pasadena, to Yuma AZ back to South Pasadena, to Dunedin, FL to Greenville, NC and back to Dunedin. The top can lay flat or be angled up. It breaks down completely in a logical and simple manner - I used to do it by myself.
