I went looking for a big camera, a really big camera. After literally searching around the world and talking with multiple ultra large format camera makers I decided that a man named Richard Ritter, a legendary figure in the photography world, would be the person to make what will likely be my final camera. Join me in Part 1 of the 'Finding Eastwood' two-part series documenting my journey from Tennessee to the green hills of Vermont to pick up my custom 11x14 view camera (Eastwood) and meet the man himself, Richard Ritter.
Part 2 has been simultaneously posted. That episode is the culmination of the over 1,200 mile journey and my meeting with Ritter. It resulted in one of the most enlightening and memorable experiences of my entire photographic life. Part 2 https://youtu.be/_t_0ZqTPZzA
