Shipping and handling: I put 10 business days handling on my products (and 15 business days on the really hard ones- see the shipping date prior to checkout)because I make them/process them to order. I do them in the order received. This system keeps me quite busy- I work long hours and don’t take weekends off. This means rush orders are all but impossible. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding!
Build philosophy: I make all of my builds with longevity in mind. I push back against the idea of planned obsolescence. The simplicity of design and durable nature of my products are intentional. Though I am an artist by education, I have always had a love for machine function. I have repaired everything from motorcycles to jet aircraft, and I bring all of that to each design. You will note that I often emphasize non-destructive and reversible. I do not design conversion kits that will permanently damage your treasures, rather kits that enhance your treasures, and even bring them out of retirement!
Mission: I am an artist, a painter by discipline. I have a terminal degree in my field and taught at the college level for many years. I have done many large conceptual works of art, and my largest one to date is my company Lo-Fi. My mission is pretty straightforward: Design and offer widespread creative solutions to allow use of analog cameras and other analog items. I honestly cannot imagine an end to this project- it seems I will never run out of things to try!
