This is seriously cool and worth 9 min of your life. I wasn't sure where to put it, so to be safe I put it under news.

In short: A guy invests everything he has into taking gigantic one-shot pictures onto "silver plates" in a camera that is the size of the entire van he drives around in. Beautifully shot video as well.

That would depend upon whether or not it's a "Hybrid" process.

Incredible ideas and images. I think this is what is known as going all in as he states. No spray and pray here. I have been looking at a very similar van but not with this being the end product. Cudos.

I've been thinking about turning one into a Speedlite.

Love it. Can't imagine what he sells each one for, but I'm sure he has no problem putting gas in the tank.

Kudos to him. Very inspirational.

Seems like waaaayyy more trouble then it's worth given the end result, however, it is quite an accomplishment to create something so unique. Cool video, thanks for sharing.
