John Coffer This Must Be The Place
John Coffer: This Must Be The Place Here’s the incredible Off Grid tale of John Coffer John Coffer Photographer: A man who’s decided to leave behind the hustle and bustle of New York City and live life of his terms in his 25 year old hand built off the grid cabin. There’s no place like home. It’s where we live, work and dream. It’s our sanctuary and our refuge. We can love them or hate them. It…

Artist/Teacher/Tintypist John Coffer with campfire reflections at Camp Tintype, Dundee, New York summer 2006
What is the most important thing in my life? Probably...being able to get up in the morning and do just what I want to do. Just..be me, and live up to my own expectations.
photographer John Coffer, from this video, "The Tintype Recaptured & Daily Tintype". I never get tired of watching this...
A series of short films by Ben Wu and David Usui of Lost & Found Films exploring the idea of home, what makes them, how they represent us, and why we need them.
Mister John Coffer's cabin
Escaping to a Log Cabin in the Woods — For Real and For Good
Twenty-five years ago, John Coffer punted on a typical materialistic life in Florida and moved to upstate New York, where he set himself up on 50 acres in a log cabin, downshifted, and apparently figured out a fulfilling, satisfying life for himself revolving around subsistence, consideration, and slow photography. In this short, pastoral little vignette from Lost & Found Films, Coffer speaks without haste about his days…sleeping until 9 if he wants, how the irregularities of his cabin reflect the natural world, and why making tintype pictures is more intention and significant. Coffer is no Luddite — he has solar, a wind generator, and a laptop — but he’s chosen and seems to be completely in full with a life outside the rushing stream. If you’ve ever thought about bailing and escaping to a simpler, quieter existence, you’ll want to watch this.
