Leaning. Halplate collodion, 1852 Ross 11" Petzval (it would probably be pretty wild on a larger plate):

These are wonderful portraits. I'm a sucker for squares. Alex, that must be a beautiful plate to behold. Congratulations on your recent show. Emil, I really like how you posed them to use the space. Evan, that's one of the most natural large format portraits of kids I have seen.

Thank you!!! That really means a lot, I've been taking a very looong break from 8x10", much too long when I think back on it - but now your compliments show me that it's a good idea to keep working with my LF-gear!
