Eddie getting crazy

Eddie getting crazy

This was a fun shot. I told him to sit steady , I was all ready to expose the plate , and he made this crazy face just to mess with me. He is a funny guy, this ended up being one of my favorites for the day.

Thanks all. Wetplate to me is the polaroid process of the 1800's, only more fun. I am hooked on this process, I just ordered a bunch of chemicals to get myself going. Not exactly a cheap venture for sure. I will post my progress here on APUG as I go. If anything I "blame" Eddie for getting me hooked on wetplate. He has been very generous to me with his time and knowledge
 
Very cool! The expression is priceless.
