The Alchemist Photographer

Forget APS-C. Forget full frame. Forget medium format. How about a wet plate camera the size of a truck. Literally, its in the back of a truck. No other camera like this exists.

Ian Ruhter has taken the creation of the photographic image to a whole new level. Doing what most of us only long for he is living his dream and creating stunning photographic imagery at the same time. He has gone back to photography's roots, when toxic chemical brews and a bit of magic bent light to its will. Truly he is an alchemist photographer.

Watch this incredibly inspiring video and look on in awe at this mans determination and skill. Every time I watch it I want to go shoot. To inspire others simply by your actions is the most noble of things. Thank you Ian.
