It gets harder to find the older phantoms --anything pre 1950's. I can find the new ones all day long and I have several good leads to get a bunch but I have waited it out. The long cheek plate one is a nice old manikin. Along with this I was fortunate enough to find a good set of very old articulating aluminum clamps. These are all listed on the site in our objects section.
New Additions
We have steadily added a very nice selection of unique and original cyanotypes that I have not gotten a change to promote them. Eventually it will be its own category due to the amount of these pieces. Currently you can see them all in our 'Wall Pieces' section. Here is just one of my favorites.

Looking back part 1
I gotta say that I am pretty tired. Looking back I have shot thousands of things. The process goes: Find the thing, load the thing, unload, clean, style, shoot, edit, write copy, post, sell, package and ship. You feel me? Did you get tired of reading that? Now you know how I feel. I figured I should post these picture that were a labor of love to shoot and capture the 'thing'--you know to continue to learn and make a record of it. Everything shot is just me and sometimes one assistant.
