Capewell is once again activating his camera’s shutter with a length of string while his comrades pose. When I was prepping this negative for this post, I thought the guys were clowning around a dumping ground with part of what looks like a crudely constructed dormer separated from a barn or some similar building. On closed examination, it looks like there is some stones or masonry work at the base of this wooden structure. It looks like this “dormer”<\/em> is set into that hill. I don’t know what it is and why it’s there, but Capewell figured it was worth a glass negative.<\/p>\n

Note the rickety fence in the upper right corner. It reminds me of the production design work of the great William Cameron Menzies<\/strong><\/a> on Invaders from Mars<\/strong><\/em>. He had fences in that movie which looked very similar. I thought they were overly stylized, but I guess I was wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As with all of the photographs in the Capewell Collection,<\/a> I placed the 5″ x 7″ glass negative on a lightbox and shot them with a digital camera locked down on a tripod. The “processing”<\/em> was done digitally on a Mac using Adobe Photoshop.<\/strong><\/p>\n
