Photographer John Chiara’s exhibition ends tomorrow at NYC’s Von Lintel Gallery. His work — which has fellow  photographers calling him “one of photography’s most innovative landscape photographers” — is created “using archaic techniques and hand built cameras.” The colors captured in his photographs are incredible [e.g. “23rd at Starr King, 2007”] and set a casual tone for the California landscapes.

His site explains his distinct process: “Chiara photographs cityscapes in a process that is part photography, part event and part sculpture – an undertaking in apparatus and patience.  Many times this process involves composing pictures from the inside of a large hand-built camera, that is mounted on a flatbed trailer, and produces large scale, one of a kind, positive exposures.”
