We call it spider diarrhea – when the 3D printer fails and makes a mess of extruded filament that looks like a rat’s nest of plastic. It happens to the best of us, but with knowledge and experience it can be a less frequent event. There are SO many ways for a 3D print to …
Sometimes a friend will offer me an old camera, often it is something interesting that belonged to a grandparent, almost always it is a film camera that hasn’t been used in a long time. Occasionally it is an early digital camera. In most cases they don’t work and have become just a paperweight or decorative …
Actually, I don’t miss film at all. I love digital photography and carry a real digital camera (not just a phone camera) on my belt all day, every day. When I do want to shoot analog I go back to the 1860’s and do wet-plate collodion pictures. I am perfectly happy to skip the 20th …
I feel like I might be the last person who is reading words on paper. I like the newspaper, I love books (I even love e-books) I love holding a real old fashioned paper book of words and pictures. But the pace of change in the publishing world is dizzying. My recent 3D printed book …

Artists and enthusiasts and alchemists were experimenting with all sorts of ways to create photographic images. John Towler M.D. wrote “The Silver Sunbeam” a ground breaking …

3D printing is fascinating, witness the media hype (3d printed guns?) and artists are not immune. I got the bug early and have been 3D printing since working on the Ascent Project back in 2010. Ceramic artists are doing it too. I spent a few days at the NCECA ceramics conference in Providence RI where …
