      ExoScout, as someone who has just made the jump, all that is correct. I just made my second exposure with my 8x10, and looking at the negative....all that cost stuff went out the window, and I can’t wait to get out to shoot with it again. The view on the ground glass is worth the price alone for me. The only bad thing, it’s not like running out the door with a medium format or 35mm, gotta make sure you got everything packed away, it sucks getting some where, start setting up and discover you left x at home...

  • @RichardStroffolino

    Extract from my dissertation about this video: Jason's video journey into exploring the mysteries of large format photography reveals the fundamental irony that is the subtext of the genre. It seemingly inherently evokes a sense of mystical wonderment, capturing light in a way that is uncanny to our everyday sensibilities. Yet this spiritual journey undertaken by Jason must be mitigated through supremely physical means. The very thing that leads him on this spiritual sojourn is an increasing dependence on the crass materiality of the medium. This is seen in the moment of his spiritual escape, only to be dragged back to this mortal coil by the very thing that granted him release. This Cartesian duality feeds into the sense of the liminal unreality that hallmarks the video.
