Adventures in photographic history

Watch as the "Panel" explores real locations with specially selected cameras and film. A big dose of history to go with your camera snobbery.

Why this exists

Instead of letting a collection of cameras sit on a shelf and collect dust, we're going to collect images of special places and talk about what makes the camera and the place unique.

It's early. Only a half-dozen trips in, and the shape of the whole series is still open. I'm open to suggestions on what to cover and am looking for models to participate in portrait shots at the various locations.

Want to get in touch?

I'm looking for a few people to watch early, suggest what to film next, or just tell me what's unclear. No pottery experience required — new eyes are useful too.
