Yes, terrific fun!  I'm reminded of the English photographer Frank Sutcliff, who, in his journals, confessed that when setting out on a field trip with his hardwood and brass view camera, tripod, and a supply of 6.5x8.5 inch glass plates, there were times he felt like turning around before he got out of town (Whitby, on the coast).  But, he kept going because "he was an Englishman".  Well, by gum, we're all photographers, right?

The first one is the epitomy of profesionalism, no doubt about it....

I love the "sniper" and the bird in front of him :-)

When I had an 8x10" view camera many years ago, I briefly mounted it on a pistol grip. Now I'm sorry I don't have a self-portrait with that getup.
