Bill Vaccaro has been taking photographs for over 35 years. After a brief but passionate affair with digital, he returned to his film roots after a three year absence.

He primarily shoots with medium format plastic cameras as well as obscure (and not so obscure) medium format equipment using homemade lenses.

He subscribes to Keith Carter's maxim that sharpness is vastly overrated.
