Dean Jones the wonderful guy who made my Bananarama Razzzle Polaroid conversion camera has passed away. I just found out about Dean's passing today, he died of cancer before my father back in December of 2014. Dean was a great guy and a wonderful camera maker, I will miss our emails. I hope to continue to make strong photos with his camera for years to come.

Passing of Dean Jones: Razzle Converted 4X5 Polaroid Cameras
I wasn't sure where to post this - I decided this was the most appropriate place.
Dean Jones, the man behind the Razzle 4X5 cameras, plus many other panoramic and other hand made cameras passed away from cancer this morning.
I knew Dean for over 15 years - his enthusiasm for photography was infectuous. He loved to play. He loved to find a old lens and shoot a paper negative to see what result the lens would give. He would take something he found - say a right angle viewfinder from a microscope, and make himself a 5X4 SLR...just because he could.
RIP mate...
