For #DianaDay, I went to Tyler, TX in connection with another project.* I went with, perhaps, a few too many cameras… It strikes me now that this might be a bit excessive. 5 cameras, 3 formats, 5 focal lengths, all with Superia 400. #believeinfilm pic.twitter.com/qBxdTHkhsy — James Cockroft (@jam_esc) August 5, 2017 Excessive, perhaps, but …
