The Camera:
Iīts a swedish camera from the fifties built by an hungarian guy who moved to sweden named szabad (lajcsi explained to me that szabad means freedom in hungarian. all the better...). itīs made for 9x12cm, but works fine for 4x5". He built somewhere around 1.500 cameras between 1945-62. He also did some 5x7 and 8x10 cameras.
itīs a wood/metal camera of the quite common type, but i love it dearly.
looks like this: »link

nice observation with the hands as both subject and frame, actually havenīt thought about that.
thanks again!
