Shaking hands with history with Carmen Pacella co-founder and Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Oriental Photo Distributing Company, one of the world’s foremost companies providing photographic supplies, particularly darkroom materials and paper.

Up close and personal interactions with the artists, Ansel Adams, Brett Weston, John Sexton, Jeff Dunas, Steve Anchell and others, inside the world of museum-quality black and white photography.

Join Carmen as he tells us stories about some of the most famous photographers in the world.

Carmen spent hours and days with these photographers as they worked in their darkrooms as they created art with negatives, light, and paper. He was there to understand how they worked with photo paper, and then make sure that Oriental provided the papers these photographers wanted.
