Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I've just finished redoing Mamut Photo's interface.
You can have a look here:

Mamut Photo, Ultra-Large format photography and Alternative processes (http://www.mamutphoto.com)

Also new, an interview with William Corey, ULF-photographer.

See you there !

Patrick,

I like it.

Just one thought for those of us opening this link in the corporate world. It would be easier to go to this site during the day without the nude in the corner.

I have nothing against nudes, I've been shooting them with LF and ULF for a long time now. Just hate to worry about who might be walking by and what new HR issue it might open up.

George,

Thanks for pointing that out, I will indeed review my set of images that are randomly rotated in that particular corner of the screen, I tend to not see nudes as a problem, but I can fully understand how they can be to some people in some environments.

What is the meaning of the word "mamut" ?

According to www.dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=Mammut" target="_blank), mammut refers to an "extinct type genus of the Mammutidae: mastodons".



Are you suggesting that these cameras (and their users) are.... "dinosaurs" ?

Mamut = Mammoth - something of great size - I would think

For an explanation of Mamut, you can look here:

What's in a name? (http://www.mamutphoto.com/content/view/99/49/lang,en/)

But in short, it comes from the 19th century "mammoth plates", which were 18x22 plates of glass, coated in sensitized solution...
It's a tribute to the Big, but also to the commitment of the madmen (Like Carleton Watkins) of the time who traveled with their huge glassplates to take images...

Big, old, crazy, it's all there ! :p

Oh, and by the way, i did update the rotating images, so no more nudes...
