Meeting RIchard Ritter in person to pick up my custom 11x14 ultra large format camera would have been a once in a lifetime experience on it's own. What I wasn't expecting was for Mr. Ritter to invite me into his home and workshop where I spent nearly two hours talking about cameras and his life in photography. He personally setup my new camera (Eastwood), hand-fitted my lens to it's fresh lensboard, and gave me a glimpse into a world where art and fine craftsmanship intermingle in complete harmony.
This is episode 2 of the two-part series 'Finding Eastwood' where I document the journey to my custom made 11x14 ultra large format camera. You can find episode 1 here: https://youtu.be/huRZYSAsIqg
