#52 LFPP On Tour With Dave Shrimpton

Simon, Andrew and Yevgeni venture out on their first LFPP outside broadcast. Unfortunately Erik couldn’t get a ticket across the Atlantic so we had to use a naked female shop dummy as an able replacement.   After two previous attempts we arrive at the wonderful imaginarium where Dave eats, sleeps and breathes creative photography.   For part 1 we chat to Dave over coffee and Kit Kats as he shows us his various go to 4x5 cameras. Venturing into his photographic imaginarium that is his studio and we are like kiddies in a sweetshop…..oh and Simon exposes some LF film in his Chroma Carbon Adventurer camera.     Things we chatted about on the show:   Dave works closely with Jeff Perry who has helped him bring his photographic equipment vision to reality and Andrew will be using his 4x5 back and wet plate insert in pt 2 https://20thcenturycamera.com/   Dave goes out of his way to shop locally where he can for his film and chemical supplies.
