    He must be using a chrome paper for that. Wow! Talk about a monster BTZS tube! And pouring your chemicals in with a garden watering can.

    I wonder where he got that lens, and what type it is. Projector? Telescope?

    What can I say. Thank goodness for the small formats like 4x5 and 8x10. They're hard enough to port around. His rig is more work than most of us want to get into ... but it is unique.

    Only in San Francisco :-)

    Seriously, I really liked the images shown in the video. It would be interesting to see the actual prints.

    I applaud his enthusiasm, and ability to create such a camera and system.

    Pity the photographer didn't realise that all that monstrous mechanical construction of his camera is completely unnecessary for picture taking of this kind...

    Oh, but maybe it is after all.

    I also found the images, or at least the glimpses in the video, to be quite compelling. It would be interesting indeed to see them. The fellow himself is quite interesting as well, not what you expect.

    I believe he is shooting Cibachrome and doing a positive process. The trailer and lens were chosen to create non traditional images. This process and setup allows for very large interesting images!

    Why so judgmental? He appears to be doing creative and original work, and having a good time doing it. And I would bet he is already familiar with the more ordinary methods of picture taking!
