I'm a wandering nature photographer artist. I feel most at home walking the mountains, deserts and forests of our natural world. Recently I started a project following the founders of photography and their initial processes. I built a 19th century style sliding box camera, and am making the negatives and prints by hand using the original techniques. This photostream will showcase my progress, or lack thereof, of this new project. I also photograph the landscape using modern techniques, film and digital, which can be seen at www.scottmansfield.com. My blog, www.mountainoverwater.com, is another outlet I use to talk about what I'm doing, both in photography and as a naturalist.
