DIGITAL INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY IS HERE and IT LOOKS GREAT!
"In December of 2007, Kodak discontinued the production of Kodak High Speed Infrared film, a favorite among fine art shooters and hobbyists looking for a different look. I have shot HIE many times..." Steve shares his digital infrared experience in an op-ed piece too long to print here but contained in our online flyer http://www.camerasbrookwood.com/BrochurePage/Flyer_InfraredConversion.pdf

20x24 POLAROID PHOTOGRAPHY IS ALIVE AND WELL
This testamonial is from Marita Gootee, Mississippi State Photography Professor and nationally recognized Artist.
Hello! I want to pass on a great opportunity for artists. John Reuter is running the 20x24 Polaroid Camera Studio in NYC for artists, art directors, creative projects and more. He purchased the remaining 20x24 Polaroid film that was in the Polaroid warehouse and is working on future plans to manufacture the film.
Artists can shoot in color or b/w. This is for all artists - not just photographic artists. Itis a unique chance to work with John and the camera. Studio rental is $750 for a half day and $150 per exposure; a great deal. Full day rates are available. Studio rental includes expert studio technicians and use of standard studio equipment. You can ship props prior to arriving or bring them with you. If you are traveling with family and friends- great- they become instant models!
Be sure to bring a 25x37 shipping case so you can ship your prints to your home or gallery. I recently used the camera and it was a fantastic experience. There is nothing like it in the world! Visit NYC and spend a day making art versus just seeing it! Email John today and make an appointment: johnreuter@20x24studio.com . You can schedule months ahead. Get on his calendar NOW! It will be worth it! Feel free to pass this on to others who might be interested. I just love this camera and know you would too. Take Care, Marita.
