Collaboratus: Mathias Oppersdorff

Mathias is an accomplished photographer whm 12 years ago was stricken with Parkinson's, and took up pinhole photography as a result. You can see more about Mathias HERE.

We have shot together twice now, and are becoming fast friends. He is a dear, gentle spirit.

Please donate HERE for research for the cure for Parkinson's so that people like Mathias can continue bringing beauty into this world.





photo above with Mathias surrounded by portraits of 5 generations of his family.


and lastly- my portrait by Mathias using my digital camera, something practically foreign to Mathias' formal film style... However, I still feel it fitting, and it is one of my favorite portraits taken of me. :)

  2. Mathias passed away as a result of complications from pneumonia last Monday. He was a man you don't meet every day, and will be missed by all who knew him Jon Campbell
