Since the announcement ofProfile pic is a selfie made at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Oct. 2021) ... I am a specialist in pre-1900 American wood and brass cameras. Since the announcement of the first commercial photographic process in January 1839, cameras have played an important part in the recording of history and culture. After 35+ years of collecting, I've acquired some of America's rarest wooden cameras and worked to uncover their fascinating stories. Take a moment and tour these beautifully crafted cameras that are considered the grandfathers of digital photography. I specialize in pre-1900 wooden cameras - the earlier the better - and enjoy researching and documenting their history. I am always looking for early wood & brass cameras and ephemera, as well as meeting the next generation of camera collectors and sharing the lore and legacy of early apparatus! (Read more)

  6. I put a comment here for Daddy_Nobucks to see camera display. This image of my workspace was posted 8 years ago. Other than a couple added things on the shelves, my workspace is about the same today.
