Saw this great story in my local paper today (San Diego Union Tribune) - Local photographer Anton Orlov is looking to keep analogue photography alive, and to do this he's converted an old school bus into a mobile darkroom/home - and is touring the US showing people the old ways of film.

It’s a yellow 1978 model made by Gillig. It cost $6,000 on eBay. Orlov spent four months turning it into what he calls The Photo Palace, complete with a place to sleep and a shower and a working darkroom. He’s already taken it on one cross-country tour and has another planned for this summer.
He's running a blog on The Photo Palace - The Photo Palace and in his latest post covers the art and craft of wet plate collodion imagery.
Earlier post detail his road trips, the cameras he's picked up along the way, and how his bus functions as a working darkroom.
Interesting guy and a great cause
