Why Photographer David Burnett Shot 4×5 Film at Impeachment Hearing

&gt; Burnett’s stock archive, we should note, includes coverage of the Watergate hearings in 1973, an impeachment hearing that felt, Burnett says, less “tribal.”<p>I won&#x27;t pretend to know much about Watergate or what he meant by &quot;tribal&quot;, but I thought it ironic that hearings about one party literally tampering on the property of another, felt less tribal.

They didn&#x27;t mention the 4x5 look, 4x5 is huge [0] and gives you an insane amount of detail with shallow DoF, perfect for portraits. What cracks me up every time is that his camera uses a lens made for reconnaissance planes during ww2 [1]<p>I&#x27;d encourage anyone interested in photography to try film, gear is quite cheap these day (I just bought a medium format lens for 100$, it used to be sold for 1500$ less than 30 years ago), it&#x27;s quickly getting more expensive though. You can easily develop your own film at home and scan it yourself too<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thephoblographer.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;frame-sizes.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thephoblographer.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;...</a> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lommen9.home.xs4all.nl&#x2F;aero&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lommen9.home.xs4all.nl&#x2F;aero&#x2F;</a>
