Hello Jake, You posted on my blog asking me a question about my homemade LF camera. It actually does have a ground glass. I made a removable ground glass out of waxy paper. This camera is not the most user friendly. So let me explain. I would take it outside set up my subject, focus, mark where the camera was, run inside to the darkroom, remove the ground glass, replace it will RC paper, run back outside place the camera in the exact same spot it was before, all the while the subject tries to stay perfectly still. I would then expose the paper to get a paper negative, then i would run back inside and develop it right away. In order to get the positive images i scanned the negatives.
Not the easiest process but i wasn't able to figure out how to load the paper on site. It was totally rewarding though when i did this project though. Lots of fun.
