About Me: As a long-time collector and user of vintage cameras, mastering the wet place collodion process has long been a lifetime goal. The bespoke cameras I make for the lenses in my collection are part of my creative expression. I am fascinated that a camera made of wood and leather can hold a lens crafted to surface tolerances of millionths of an inch on one end and on the other end, sensors dating from 1851 collodion to analog film and digital backs. Anachronism rocks!
