Overview

Over the years I've used many systems to meet my various creative goals and technical challenges. I shoot both film and digital. For my black and white work I shoot film, developed in my darkroom and scanned on a system I invented to give me an extremely high resolution digital file. I print using a technique called Piezography on a modified Epson Printer.

For my panoramic images, I wasn't happy with the equipment available so I designed my own. I pieced it together to keep it lightweight and robust. An Arca Swiss P0 ball-head is the base, to which an L-braket is placed that has a vertical rotating plate-head. The camera is mounted vertically to this plate, which allows me to pivot the camera vertically, while the PO ball-head lets me rotate the camera on the horizontal. It's small, lightweight and works beautifully.
