Here are the first photos of the making of my new HF3535. Filip is making me the camera in the Czech Republic, it should be complete in about 2 months time maybe a bit longer. The camera will be able to make 35x35 inch wet plate images and should weigh in at around 100 lbs. With this wonderful and beautiful tool I hope to create a monumental and unique photographic project. I will try and make a series of mammoth ambrotypes unlike anything seen before in Canadian photographic history. If I fail, I fail, but nobody is going to be able to say I did not try.
