B & W pictures p-1

L O E L ' S * S I T E

These black and white pictures are offered not because of their photographic quality but because they illustrate aspects of the adventure on the North Star, and some readers may find them interesting. Photographically speaking, to my regret, I did not own the Rolleiflex with twin xenotar lenses that I acquired later and still use. I cannot even recall the name of this camera. It was an old German made twin lens reflex.with glass that was sharper in the center than around the edges. This was such a clunky camera that I take a certain amount of pride in the quality of the pictures I managed to achieve. Would that I had had better equipment but these tell the story even so. They do not appear here in any consecutive order.
