Anything in the pipes for 2017? Alternatively, any wet plate instructors around?

2016 was a boon year, the pinhole festival in Lonsdale Quay, alternative process symposium and several other expos as well as a used camera trade day at the flea market.

Anything like that in the pipes this year?

I'm also looking for instruction in wet plate photography, preferably in group setting to keep the costs down.

Look up the workshops at George Eastman Museum in Rochester.

They also offer private tutorials.

Closer to home (this is, after all, in the Vancouver sub-forum) you might want to talk to Nicole at Beau Photo to find out whether they are planning to have Phil Chin do any more sessions on wetplate through them.

Or you could contact Phil directly: http://www.chinphoto.com/#/gallery/wetplate/1/

Are you a member of the Northwest Alternative Photography (more correctly, the "Pacifica Chapter of the Center for Photographic History and Technology (CPHT)") group? If not, send me a pm ("Start a Conversation") and I can put you in touch with Craig Huber, who sends out the notices.

Here is the website: Dead Link Removed
