Bill, I've been watching you do some amazing plates. Keep it up they are stunning. Just promise me something....... no skulls please. The portraits are where it is at!

Thanks Jim. Funny, I was looking at that skull the other day and really strange you should mention it - this was our test plate and she had a goat skull!

Alex,

I've never experienced shooting with collodion plates, just shoot with common 4x5 film. Maybe in a near future. Who's the guy on the picture, a friend of yours ? He remember Christ.

Tks,

Jardel.

What is the wet platers fascination with sculls. Is it in the manual? Gives you certification?

In the North Carolina Mountains you are able to find many places of interest. The Crossnore School founded many years ago for children in need is such a place. On my last trip to Crossnore I visited the weave room at the school. Since I spend my working life selling looms to textile mills in the USA, this was a very good place for me to visit. The young weaver was very nice to allow me to make her photograph.

Camera -- Speed Graflex
Lens – Heliar at F4.5 for 1/30 with rear shutter
Film – Ilford HP-4 pushed to ASA 400
Processed in HC-110 50/1 for 14 minutes in Beseler Drum
