TOOLS OF THE TRADE > what tools and materials changed your life? <
Favourite tool: cable release (the longer the better)
35mm camera: Robot Star 50 When I started aerial photography with kites I imagined a camera taking square frames with a motorwinder. Two years later I found it on a secondhand market: this Robot spring-wind camera with a shutter so loud you can still hear it at a 120 meters distance.
Imacon scanner: during the last two years I have been scanning lots of negatives from my archive
Book: The Physics of the Free Field by Dr. M. Minnaert. A set of three books, this one describes light and movement in the physical world. A gem!
