About The Webmaster
Hello, I'm Michael Tisdale: the Bolex Collector, or Webmaster, or "the guy who designed this site". I live in Atlanta, GA, with my wife, two cats and a collection of old movie cameras (among other things).
This site is dedicated to my passion of collecting and using Bolex cameras. Although I've collected many types of still and movie cameras from different manufacturers since 1991, I have a particular interest in Paillard Bolex.
Over the years, I've discovered others who also share my interest in collecting and filming with classic cameras; both as a hobby and professionally. I created this website in 2005, to share information with other Bolex enthusiasts.
I don't collect cameras as much as I used to; I only keep what I use. I enjoy time-lapse and scenic cinematography, and prefer spring-wound cameras over anything that uses a battery. If you have comments or questions, or would just like to discuss Bolex cameras, I look forward to your email
