This is an early test version of a digital view camera I've been hacking together. Stay tuned for new images from it soon.

I had a lot of fun making this image over the weekend.
Too bad Facebook image compression is terrible, it really kills this image...

Had fun making this still-life this weekend.

Images are from a 2 hour demo at Pacific Union College's New Work show at the Rasmussen Art Gallery. Unfortunately I did not wash these plates sufficiently before they made it on the wall so many of them have degraded significantly before I had a chance to scan them. If your image is one of the particularly bad ones, I'm sorry!
