"I studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology in the late 1970's. It was during that time that I discovered 19th. century photography.
I spent the next 30 years collecting "antique photography" and shooting my own, but never learned to love the darkroom. I dabbled in other art medium (including paint and collage) during that time but until 2000 photography was center stage. In 2000 I decided to make the switch to scanning my negatives and printing them digitally. I soon discovered that maintaining a printer was just as uninteresting as the darkroom had been. Painting moved to the foreground and will probably stay there for a good long time, if not till the end."

If you like the 1960s photocollages on carte de vistes by the Czech graphic designer Bohumil Stepán (1913-1985) that come up at the Bassenge auction house in Berlin from time to time you will appreciate this exhibition by Bill Lee. Any others done this?
