PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTLIGHT: Peter Liepke

Peter Liepke makes photography for the sake of making art.  Nothing more.  The best part is that he does it  because he has to.  And he uses a 100 year-old Graflex sheet camera and 19th century printing processes.  He also makes handmade, closed-corner custom wood frames.  How many photographers can we say that about?  Aside from the fact that we get to view the kind of photos that such a process achieves, Peter's craft comes from a unique and creative vision that only a true artist could possess.  I feel lucky to feature his work here, and want to let it speak for itself.
