June 2009 Portraits

[Mark Sawyer]

Eddie, Joe, and Alexey, it's great to see a three professional collodion portraits on the same screen. All are nice, and unique, as befitting the process and artist.

Yup, we used to complain about digital technology running the film companies out of business. Now it turns out that wet-plate photography is the big threat!

Beautiful work!

Those coneheads are pretty cool. Good plates.
