That website has been up, unchanged, for ages. I wonder how many years it's been since he's built and sold any of those items.

He had the booth next to me at a trade show. I thought that while driving back from that show that he died in a traffic accident. Could be wrong though.

Yes, I remember seeing that listing at the time. I have some of his 12x20 holders for my F&S. They're beastly heavy, like apparently everything else he built.

Bob, take a look at his website I linked above. Very much alive, has his finger in a grillion different pies beyond photography.

More like underwater archaeological research by now. I don't see how he could possibly compete with much more modern ULF designs; but we should be appreciative of all the pioneers.

Thanks for posting these things!
I am appreciative of Mark Sampson for remembering the name of the maker and his cameras, I remembered they were big and heavy. LOL.
It's wonderful to see he and his wife have a foundation where they gift $$ to working photographers, last recipients were only a few years ago.
I almost want to get a vertical self watering garden ...

I need to adapt his style tripod/platform

But also have 2 wheels

Yeah, overall interesting to see yet another explorer of the interface of LF photog, architectural design, landscaping, etc. Have a friend with a very successful arch. lighting business with Malibu clientele, though he actually lives up here near SF Bay half of each week, and flies down there to his showroom the other half. Keep asking him when he's going to retire; but he still enjoys it, and the business is doing well. Lots of rich folk around there who have the money to spend. I once shipped a lot of uber-expensive door and window hardware down there. Mailbu ain't LA, that's for sure.

That was the first thing that caught my eyes. But it doesn’t look like I can buy one directly.
