Anyone know what I got here and if it has any value? I picked this up at a garage sale.
Random objects out of Place - This fridge caught my eye one day as I was walking home from the store. It's in a back alleyway, behind a few business that are local to me.
Originally it had a beer can on top of it, which would have added a little bit more character, but it must have blown away.
I was drawn to this because of its complete randomness. It's out of place and unexpected. The fridge has served its purpose in the world and has clearly been discarded. But I can give it one last purpose for my photo, and it's now forever preserved, scanned and also embedded onto a piece of film.

Im a long time 35 and 120 shooter and would like to get into large format. I have the option to buy a toyo 45a with a Fuji 150 f6.8 and a tachihara (branded Calumet) with super angulon 90 f8. both are in pretty reasonable shape. any thoughts or preferences? I am mainly a landscape photographer, but don’t plan to do much back packing with the camera.
My WillTravel‘s tripod adapter decided to stop holding in the petg body and the camera fell to the hard ground. it landed on the handle, which cracked off the body without damaging the main part of the camera or the lens. I’ve decided to reprint it and incorporate the items I added on, such as a longer back for my slightly longer lens, and add on some strap loops.
My other thought though is to build a full movements camera, or of course I could do both since filament is cheap. I could try to make a hybrid of the two but not sure how I’d do it.
I could probably have a WillTravel redone in a few days as I have all the parts. It takes a long time to print the body, and I’d have to fumble around with the changes I want in the design software.
I was hiking early in the morning the other day, taking cool photos in the forest, I was holding my Graflex, still closed and in its pouch, and then I ripped on some dried leaves... fell straight on the camera (I also had quite some heavy equipment in my backpack, that didn't help). It hurt in the moment but then for 2 days I was okay. Then it started hurting again, I went to the doctor a few days later only to find out that one of my ribs was fractured! Well, these cameras are built like tanks so I'm not surprised XD
