No, I haven't given up on Odd Shots. You will find my Odd Shot post below this one. Please make Odd Shot comments there.
~Aileni has been hosting Monochrome Mondays for a few weeks now and I decided that this is the perfect photo to render in sepia tones for my first entry. We met this old fashioned photographer with his antique camera during a hike in July. He said he thought he ought to use a camera as old as he is. I thought I saw him again today (Sunday) but the gentleman I saw, though wearing a similar hat, was shooting with a digital. When I told him I had thought he was the man with the old-fashoned camera, he knew who I was talking about, having encountered him from time to time on various trails.

Interesting tale as well as a beauiful shot.
I always wanted a Field Camera - it is one of my regrets that I wasted resources doing something else.
This shot has a resonance of Ansell Adams.
Wonderful.
Wonder what his camera is shooting?
Nice photo for that meme.
Next week should be a real challenge for you with THREE memes to fill: odd shots, monochrome one and Bridges Between. (I guess I will be in the same boat!)
Still working on my two quilts but gave up at 1:00 AM this morning. Now I can't go to sleep but not willing to drag out the quilts again until later tonight.
What a wonderful nostalgia trip with this pic! Those cameras certainly had so much class and pizzaz!
I love the old cameras, but my digital is so much easier to use - and no running-costs either. I like your use of sepia for this.
What a brilliant shot! You know, I tend to "overthink" these sometimes and I have tried to keep it simple this week.
I love this one though. So appropriate in sepia.
What a perfect monochrome ... and it really brings back memories

This is perfect for sepia Katney. I love the shot! My Odd Shot has been posted~Have a great day!
Good shot with an intriguing story along with it. Wonder where the old guy is now?
The unknown photographer.
What a nice sepia subject. And mysterious one. He reached perfection to look old fashioned.
Great choice.
If I didn't read your description, I swore this picture was taken 50+ years ago.
Good shot in sepia, interesting tale.
Perfect first post. This could have been taken in the 30's or 40's. Timeless. BJ
