Here is a mini MTV Cribs' style tour of my actual apartment—that I fictionalized for the sole purpose of this project. Gilda is my downstairs neighbor and we photographed every Sunday for 5 years to complete the book.
You'll see the camera that I used below; it is an old fashioned Cambo 8x10-inch view camera.
Early into shooting, I was lowering the tripod, just minding my own business, when it snapped down, and pretty much bit, my finger. This caused me to literally see stars and I dropped the camera, breaking the ground glass. So, for probably almost 4 years, I photographed with a Scotch-taped viewfinder.
