Mourning Wood Photographic Company

A rag tag group of misfits trying to make a camera company. Doing the impossible - trying to make film mainstream again! Also camera historians.

The Press was insane, but I somehow managed to get right between Vivek and a Communist spokesperson.

In the long history of #photography, many companies like Crown Optical fell by the wayside. Today, we examine the history of this obscured lens company to figure out what happened to them! And how they ended up on a Bolshevik list! #vintagephotography

How can you capture the beautiful orange and brown glow of 100-year-old wood furniture? This will be the magic of film.

One struggle in documenting and photographing spaces is how to convey the history, the warmth, and beauty of old Carnegie libraries. This is a struggle that we’re still trying to overcome, but the library adventure has been so rewarding.

The biggest reason for delays in our videos is the amount of research we do. The history of #photography is incredibly extensive, but so is our subjects.

Continuing to work on our massive Carnegie library documentary project: photographing and reviewing the history of every Carnegie library in the country. #library #History

Folks, if you haven't checked it out yet, our new video is up about the history of the Yale Camera Company. #photography

When it comes to #antiquephotography the Yale Camera Company stands out as one of the more obscure DIY outfits. I break down the weird history in this month’s #FramingthePast, a new series that discusses the history of the lesser known camera companies.

@RealPreCinema The world of magic lanterns is so fascinating but such a different can of worms when trailing down camera history. Like a wild, stray path that branches off. At some point, we would love to do a video on Carbutt.

@kaileaalegrande Bordering on pictorialism.

@takeuchifilm Love how the light interacts with film.
