HORSLEY HINTON / WE append Mr. Hinton’s own comments: / “A commonplace subject within a few / yards of a busy town—an October morn- / ing with signs of coming rain; the sun / hidden by a floating veil of thick haze. / It was the ninth exposure of my first / ‘cartridge,’ the first three being used on / experimenting. The camera was held in / the hand, and F8 chosen with an ‘in- / stantaneous’ exposure, with the shutter / at its fastest.” / The negative was taken in a No. 4 / Cartridge Kodak.
