Words (and pictures!)

I'd like to share what I'm learning and creating. The learning curve in wet plate collodion photography is quite steep and there are many factors (technique, chemistry, weather, climate, etc.) that contribute to the success or failure of an image. I'll post images of some of my failures and successes--warts and all--and also share some of the ideas and images that inspire and influence my work.
