An ongoing project. Pretty cool stuff.

Any man who can see what he wants to get on film will usually find some way to get it;
and a man who thinks his equipment is going to see for him is not going to get much of anything.

Thanks for posting, the converted ambulance puts Sally Mann's Surburban/mobile darkroom to shame! This has to be about the most ambitious wet plate project out there.
The website is great and you can support the project from there as well.
