Hello, I'm Joe and I live in Louisiana. I just happened to see this section. I am fairly new here. I mostly read the post to learn what I need since most things are covered.
I have been wanting to do Wetplate Photography for a few years now but have just recently taken the plunge. I have a whole plate camera being made but in the meantime I picked up a 10x12 Vageeswari. After messing with that camera for a little bit I decided that it would not be a good every day camera due to the abuse that it will have to endure. I just picked me up a Cambo 4x5 as my main camera to learn on and get better with. I'll have my 10x12 for when I want to do larger photos in the future but for now the 4x5 will be my workhorse.
I don't have a photography background so everything is new to me. I do shoot digital some also but again, an amateur with a few paying gigs now and then for friends and family. I am just trying to read and watch videos to suck up any info I can that will help me. This place has been a tool of mine to learn with so I thought I would say hello.
Just made my first plates a couple weeks ago. I am working on getting my dark room together so I can really jump in and get things going.
Anyways.....Just thought I would say hello and introduce myself.
