oh, hello
forgive the delay in updates, posting, etc..
jetlag was replaced with commercial photo jobs and travel to Chicago and Michigan
but i am back..
and i wanted to share with you what i made in yosemite
(i didn't mean to hold out on you)

| this is el capitan (this is a tintype) |
 |
| this is also el capitan (this is a tintype) |
 |
| this is cathedral rock and spires (this is a glass plate) |
 |
| this is a glass plate view of yosemite falls from glacier point |
 |
| this is my sallie mann plate of yosemite falls |
 | ||
| this is my very first plate (notice the chemical burn) |
it was very important to will, my dear instructor, that we learned to make both ambrotypes (glass plates) and tintypes. i am now empowered to do both.. and i can't wait to make more.
i am day dreaming about silver nitrate on my fingers and hands. my first camera has been outfitted. i am commissioning my dark room and chemicals have been ordered. i plan to be making wet plates by the end of the month. it may not come soon enough. while my journey to yosemite and initial introduction to wet plate may be over, my love affair with collodion is long from drawing to a close.
