Profile
I am a glass artist, work and live in Chelsea Michigan. Reunited with my love of photography in the past year and learning just what digital cameras can do. Well I thought I wasn’t missing film and large format cameras until experiencing a Howard Bond gallery show..when is digital going to get into the large format cameras? I’ve been looking through my 35mm like it was a 2 1/4…hmmm.
