Rare Books
"[L]imited edition book honoring the twenty-one California missions and their founding father, Junípero Serra, who will be canonized by Pope Francis in September of this year [2015] ... Today, these missions stand as important monuments of both California state history and the history of the United States. Each mission has its own character and feel that makes it distinctive and worthy of notice ... Craig Alan Huber repurposed a 5 ₉ 7-inch Wood Field Camera and four lenses, including a circa 1860s Darlot Opticien Petzval. His choice of view camera equipment and well-honed professional techniques has produced a rich panoply of imagery that invites viewing the California missions in a new light"--Kickstarter webpage for The spirit within: the California missions, viewed on July 15, 2015.
