2010 Fotocraft Workshops: Sept. 25-26, 2010

In the past few years there has been a resurgence of interest in the view camera, leading to a more Contemplative style of photography. Although digital photography is most popular today, the older format view camera is alive and well and gaining acceptance among serious photographers. These cameras provide superior technical quality, complete image control and afford a different way of seeing that is usually ignored when using smaller hand held cameras.
