The Art of the Camera

Cameras have long been regarded as treasured objects - tools with an aesthetic appeal of their own. The careful blending of complex functional elements with forms of sensual appeal make the camera an object that inspires passion among both photographers and collectors. When the creative tool itself becomes an object of fascination, its form can evolve until its design and craft become an art. These pages reflect my pursuit of that art and my effort to share them with you.
Inspired by the handmade cameras that served early practitioners of photography, my designs are directed primarily at alternative methods of image making with an emphasis on wide-field, panoramic or lensless designs.
If you like the traditional appeal of film and are in love with the simplicity of lensless photography, yet still secretly harbor a passion for traditionally crafted creative tools, then you find our equipment to be of interest.
The cameras are made by small batch production methods to insure the highest quality. They are completely original designs with a curved shape that is a hallmark of our camera design philosophy. Curly and quarter-sawn Cherry combined with brass hardware keep this edition firmly planted in the solid tradition of historical camera design. We periodically produce special, one-off examples that often bend the rules just a bit.
So when you can put off your desire no longer, send us an email, write us a letter, give us a call or arrange a studio visit and we'll see about getting you set up with one of our photographic instruments.
