It was the birth of xerox

Invented in to 1950’s, the xerographic (without water) process revolutionized the world. It’s roots were photographic.

Carbon + electricity = photography

Preserving a moment in history

This Xerox #3 camera system is a rare artifact. I maintain and preserve a set my mentor Tom Carpenter helped me obtain.

Your portrait

Will be scribed with 7,000 volts of electricity onto a selenium plate, attracting the carbon toner particles. Then, with an opposite charge I will push the carbon to fine art paper and fuse it with heat.

An original

There is only one copy of each photograph. Each unique, direct positive image has flaws inherent to the process, including the surface of the plate, the paper and deliberate manipulation of the image prior to fusing.
