What a treat. A feast for the eyes. Your wet plate work is so beautiful. Makes me want to sell all of my cameras and get an 8x10 and start building wet plate holders... Thank you for the inspiration, and thank you for sharing your magnificent work!

Awesome work. Have never seen any process that gives it so much 3 dimensional feel than the wet plate collodion and i am looking at a cheap monitor. This must be something else in the flesh.

Thank you for the kind words... I am enthralled with how beautiful this process is.

It's a difficult and time consuming process...though the labor does make me work in a more thoughtful manner... most of these portraits are 10-30 second exposures with the lens wide open, so it becomes a real collaboration with the subject...

then again there are LOTS of failures.

Svend,
Focus and movement is a real issue with this process. It is not by accident that she has her head on a stump... I made about 6 plates of this girl, and I think three are sharp. If the sitter blinks just once or twice, it barely shows as the eye goes back to it's original position...

This process is teaching me patience...
