OK, I'll start. Here's a recent 8x10 collodion image on aluminum. 18" THC portrait lens.

This is the finest image of this type that I have ever seen. The subject appears to have been hewn live from metal, like a classic bronze statue - but luminous - a platinum/silver amalgam.

I never understood the appeal of this process - until now.

Please do more of these.

Very nice Kerik. Love the hair. This isn't the new lens, is it? I thought that was a 15".

[Dave Aharonian]

On technique Donald? Are you manipulating the image in Photoshop or an equivalent program?

No, this is all done with traditional materials and methods. The procedure for development and printing as well as the toner are all from a 3rd generation lab in Milano, Italy.
