• i relaly wanna use that!
  faisal @ 2009-11-18 07:50:38
• I like his wooden camera and sturdy tripod. It's interesting that he has no cable release on the lens. Perhaps the exposures are so slow that it's not needed. A fine picture of him...and so serious too. Well done.

  I hope you are well. I've been swamped with "busy-ness" and am making attempts to catch up in those silent cracks.
  Diane @ 2009-11-26 14:17:50
• Old and new facing each other- your camera pointing at it's great grandfather/mother! A family photograph of a cameras ancestry. Love that green toning.

  grant @ 2009-11-29 21:19:11
• Now that is a beautiful camera and work of art in and of itself. Zero interest in doing wet plate work but I'd love to have that camera decorating my living room.

His equipment was set up under a tent in Washington, Arkansas, but I only had time for a few quick shots.

You can view [a description of his process], and his [darkroom] in the two previous images.
