September Still Lifes

[al olson]

Okay, I'll bite the bullet. Let's start a new still life thread. Take 2 has become too lengthy and unwieldy. Many of the linked images are no longer viewable, especially those linked to Flickr and PhotoBucket.

The monthly portrait threads are far more manageable, so let's do it one month at a time. I will start it off with images that I hope I have not posted before. All have been made with the Linhof Color rail camera using a Schneider 135mm lens.

Perfect timing...

I have a few from a series I have been doing with POP paper of my own making. These images are of course, on silver paper as I have yet to scan any of the salt prints, but non the less (hopefully) for your viewing pleasure. And my apologies as they have gained a bit of contrast in the scans.

Very celver and well executed Mark. Bravo!

[Mark Sawyer]

Thanks, all! This was a spur-of-the-moment thought while listening to the news on the radio. I was just worried I'd be banned for life for bringing up politics. ;)

Just another half-plate tintype! The nice thing about collodion is that it gets into a nice workflow, and a completely different image morpherd into this in a matter of a few minutes.
