Second on the Goldsworthy. He is amazing and inspiring, and the vids are really well done too. Something there for any artist.

Not large format,,, but my students were enthralled with the documentary about James Natchwey "War photographer"....

John, you will not find a DVD much more inspirational than this one, in my opinion. Although much of the film shows Brett with his 6x6 Rollei, he is also shown with the 8x10. As an added feature, I appear in the film photographing at Point Lobos with my trusty Calumet. And if all of that is not enough enticement, the film includes 892 of Brett's photographs from the Brett Weston Archive.

I like the sound of your project, good for you!

Merg, I agree with you 100%. I watch this DVD before I go out on a trip. The work and the images in the DVD are very inspiring for me. After that I visit your site and the Site of the late Gordon Chapple to really get me going!

I love Christopher Burkett's 'The Tapestry of Creation' DVD. Inspirational and shows his working methods and some spectacular images. I believe this can still be purchased on his website.

Jim, what Art Wright was able to capture in his film, (Brett Weston), was the total dedication of an individual to his craft. Nothing, came between Brett and his photography! I was a witness. His dedication, complemented by the terrific work that he produced, is perhaps the source of your inspiration. It has always been mine.

You mention me in lofty company, I am humbled. The work of Gordon Chapple is wonderful, and will be appreciated for a very long time, as more people become familiar with his contribution to photography. He was among the talented that pursued their art, not fame nor fortune.

Thanks Merg. That is the kind of dvd I'm looking for.
