Not Impressed !

After a few months break from making wet plates, I prepared a new batch of collodion and tested a newly groomed silver bath making ready for a portrait gig at Icebox gallery in Minneapolis this coming Thursday. This was the first plate out of the gate.. My daughter reluctantly sat for me... I think she is rapidly losing interest in sitting for me anymore :-(

In my appraoch of making things quick for her, I dropped the plate while getting the holder ready, and the developer pour has it's issues, but overall things are in balance chemistry wise.
