har har har!

free free free!

thanks joe,

most stuff happening on may 1st. all are welcome to hang around all weekend to help flow all the collodion and kick the keg.

there will be deer, turkeys (not just you guys) and rabbits being pulled from hats! Frank Petronio will be coming as well....he is in charge of all the fire!

mike and steve are scheduled to show. maybe we can get a 50/50 raffle in on some chemical goodies....

yes, please bring some stuff to swap and sell. i will make arrangements for a tent and some tables. i was just not able to pull it off as grand as i had planned but i will try and include all the fun non-the-less. the more goodies that show will help to get some of the tire kickers to come on over......

i know of a 2C that will be there....not sure if it will be for sale but it will be available for play!

It is wet plate collodion day on May 1st. it is a day that all WPC people shoot a plate and post it on a website. we will be having a group effort to do this. we will also be shooting film and large format. i will have some models, food, and great local micro brew beer!

it will be worth the drive. i/we hope you (and all others) are able to make it. so far we have about 20-25 people waiting for the day to arrive.

there is 50 acres of forest to play in as well. i will be arranging local forays to nearby shooting destinations for those that want to shoot photos of something besides the models. we have 1600 era stone houses, bridges (BIG and small) rocks, mountains, barns, trees waterfalls and old trains to name a few of the awesome potential all within 15 mins drive.

okay. i just got word from Petronio. he is bringing girl(s) and some stuff for fire.

i will be working on another model or two as well. please keep in mind that it would be nice to tip the models as they are giving up there time for us. if you enjoy working with the models please kick in a few bucks as well. if everyone puts in some that would be great.

stay tuned.

hey all,

some more info. i just typed "wet plate NYC" into google and this thread came up 2nd right after john coffer's site. how great is that?

anyway, all is moving forward. F. Petronio is bringing a model (or two) and something for some fire....

Black Art wood craft will be here as well. he will have some pieces to show off as well....he can be easily found at the keg! LOL!

Artcraft chemicals will also be here. he has donated some chemicals for raffles and a Chinese auction. if you want to save some shipping order from him and pick it up when you arrive.

i just received word last night that bostick-sullivan will be donating some chemicals as well for the cause.

remember this is " wet plate day" as well. all the wet plate shooters are encouraged to shoot a plate today in remembrance of Archer...the wet plate founder. please see this page for more info:
http://www.wetplateday.org/

also, if you can not make my event and you live in or near the UK there is a ceremony in the UK at Archers burial plot. money has been raised to provide him with a head stone....that is right, after almost 150 years of not having a marker Mr Archer will getting one! a big well done to all that made that happen.

camping is available at my place (free). there are also many hotel/motels in kingston and new paltz NY.

if any one would like to bring something for "pot luck" that would be great. any help is appreciated. please e mail me for specifics. so far we have BBQ food, salads, and BEER....great local beer in a keg! last time we kicked a 1/4 keg. this time i upped it to a 1/2 keg. lets see how we will do.

i am excited to kick this off. it should be a great day. i have a "guy" in the weather. so it will be a perfect day! positive thinking everyone! (rain or shine)....positive thinking remember!

thanks
