Very cool! I wish I had that kind of airflow when I'm in cubicle hell at the office.

Self Portrait
Collodion on whole plate alumnium. Just over a minute for exposure.

[Jim Cole]

Nicely done Scott!

[Mark Sawyer]

That's an excellent, excellent portrait of Tony, Garrett! Everything came together in that one, the process, the light, the lens, the mood of the composition, all in harmony. If only we could keep such things in a bottle...

Thanks Mark and all. As you know, with collodion, every day and lighting is different. With a different batch of collodion and different UV light factor, it would probably have been less "Rembrandt." Saturday I took 2 positives on alum, and one glass negative. They all look similar to this one. Standard "it looks better live" too.
