Bill Westheimer brings The Manual Project to Hospitalfield

Bill Westheimer is here for two weeks from the USA working on The Manual Project - an ongoing portraiture project which combines 19th Century collodion wet plate photography and photograms.

Bill has created two working environments in the studio to produce prints of current residents, staff and local artists, assisted by his wife Lisa and local photographer Malcolm J Thomson.
