Friday Photo Quiz
We have to start by apologizing about last week's photo quiz. We just forgot to do it. (Spring Fever strikes deep.)
So here is the question of the week. We're a big fan of large-format photography, and the camera you see here is certainly large in format. What was the single use this camera was put to? And when was it used?

The ceremony for the driving of the golden spike at Promontory Summit, Utah, May 10, 1869?

Tim,
You got it, congratulations. And you were fast, too.

Ups, sorry. I guess I spoiled the whole quiz ;-(

Well, I am not sure if it was for the Golden Spike ceremony, but I read that it was used to photograph a train and then never used again. Guess they didn't have the cash to buy a good wide angle lens or a panoramic camera! :o)
