The great thing about this site is the inspiration provided by the cameras that Rayment Kirby made. They’re beautiful. Stunning craftsmanship.

Also, the workshop section has some simple plans and great articles about large format camera construction.

I would love to see fully developed plans for these cameras. I’d buy them and I bet others would too. The first one I’d have to get would be the 4×5″ TLR Holy cow. Now that’s a cool camera.

This is a treat. It’s called Portrait of Imogen. It’s a wonderful little documentary in which the only spoken voice is that of Imogen Cunningham. She talks of her family, Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Martha Graham, Dorothea Lange, and her life in photography. Anybody interested in the history of photography must watch this. Excellent videos.
