It is so fascinating - your three most recent posts have educated and inspired me. <br /><br />In this post, I learned about an artist that was new to me.

That's really expensive; did he have his own darkroom? Also, I like what he says about the mistakes.

His photos are unlike others I have seen -- and he certainly was obsessive in his themes. He created hand drawn frames for many of his photos, mostly from torn cardboard and pencil/ink. At the exhibit they had filled a huge glass fish tank with his handmade cameras and other equipment that he used. The cameras were extraordinary in person -- a sight for any mixed media artist to behold. Thanks for bringing back these memories.Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05870075379758015838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-39138164608824005352012-10-02T21:43:00.149-07:002012-10-02T21:43:00.149-07:00Brilliant.
