RIP, such sad news. Jan was a gifted photographer and artist, and a genuinely kind person. I am sure he inspired many aspiring artists besides myself, which isn't a bad legacy to have in your wake....

Thanks Peter, always a pleasure to share and learn with folks!
Just wanted to let the community know about some workshops that I am teaching in Salt Lake City in 2020. Our alt pro sampler is geared towards locals, as it meets once a week, but the majority of...
Rich I’m in SLC and have a chamonix 8X10, and run lenses in that weight range without issues. Drop me a message if you want to drop by and check out the camera in person.
My little tintype studio / workshop space / custom historical process lab is having an open studio in Salt Lake City today! We have a handful of friends showing work in the shop, so there are lots...
Draw the pattern in some sort of computer program and then out put it directly onto what ever you are using as a stiffener. My favorite way to tackle this now is to build the pattern in adobe...
Just wanted to say thanks to any and everyone who took a look at our kickstarter for Luminaria, we reached our funding goal today. We really appreciate it and we are looking forward to creating some...
Thanks Bob, we'd love to get you out this way if everything works out. China was a trip, I will shoot you a call when things slow down a little.
Hey LFPFer's, I wanted to make a quick post about a new venture that I am co-opening in Salt Lake City, Utah. Luminaria, a collodion portrait studio and alternative process workshop center. We are...
Grew up in Ithaca, but no longer there. Cant think of any LFers still in the area but I will post back if someone comes to mind. Feel free to PM me though if you have any questions or if I can help...
That is a beautiful area, please share some images after you wrap up your trip. Would love to see them.
Thanks Neal for this link, do you mind telling us what sort of price range your new bellows for your toyo fell into? Looks like an interesting option for people here in the US.
Great opportunity to learn a great process from one of the best. Looks like a good line up this summer at the Formulary. Have fun.
Anyone have any experience using one of these old monsters for alt pro? Seem to be lots on the 2nd hand market, would love to hear a story or two about some first hand experiences with them.
This would be a great workshop for anyone who wants to learn collodion the right way. Each instructor has a ton of collodion and photographic knowledge, and the price is right. Have fun!
Sandy your VDB prints are really the benchmark for that process. I am always amazed to see what you do with that process, its incredible. Any wisdom you would be willing to share with the community...
Looks like a really great exhibition Sandy, congrats. Wish I could be there to see the work in person.
good call, you also have to put a value on your time and energy when talking about creating your own metal salts. My time and energy is better used in learning how to really master a process, rather...
Thanks Bob, I am printing a lot of color gum right now, so I just convert to multichannel and that splits the k layer into the CMY correctly. Each color is linearized individually, and the standard...
I think if you are linear on all of your CMY layers, order doesn't really matter too much. I shuffle the order depending on my registration system. Print CYM at a workshop or demo without a plate...
I'm sure these images will sing in carbon, wish I could be there to see them in person. I hope this show gets the attendance it deserves.
Mark summed it up more eloquently than I could on my own, agree 100%. Hope this show is a well deserved success, wish I could make it.
I would love to come to this meet up, sounds like a really fun day. Have to see if I can make it happen
This one's gonna be great!! Great opportunity to learn an absolutely amazing process from one of the best. Wish it wasn't 2000 miles away!
Thanks, just got back to SLC. Was a great opening, over whelming turnout to support the show, saw some old friends and made some new ones. Talked, talked and talked! Pretty amazing experience.
Headed down to Santa Fe today, looking forward to meeting a LFPF or two at the opening. Thanks
Thanks so much Erik & Bob. The Show is up until the 5th of September, but I believe that my work will be there a little longer. I am really looking forward to the opening, have always loved...
I have a couple of prints on the wall in the current show at Verve Gallery, in Santa Fe NM. The formal opening is on 7/17, I know that there are some members from northern NM here, and it would be...
Chris and Viviane are great and Denver is lucky to have them and Processus in the community. Really excited to visit them this summer.
Hope this opening was a huge success Kerik, wish I could have been there. Congratulations.
I would check out golden spike and the abandoned sites north of the great salt lake, and Thistle in American fork canyon just south of Provo. Take the rt turn onto 89 from route 6. You will see some...
There is tons of stuff that is day trip-able from Lehi, everything from dunes at little sahara, the west desert to high alpine lake vistas, along with urban and industrial areas in and around salt...
I agree with Mark, technique is everything. I would worry less about the actual volume of chem used, just get the plate covered. Once you get comfortable with the whole developing thing you can...
I am with Garrett on this, UV coating or not doesn't make a huge difference, on lenses or bulbs. It just takes a lot of light to burn in your image. Not really any way around it, you need lots of...
love me some Fresson prints, those things are great. They seem to give color a texture that is completely unique, hard to put into words. I feel that its a whole different level of mastery when you...
I use .019 aluminum sheeting that it get from Home Depot here in the states for all my 3 color gum, cmy gum over platinum and gum & cyanotype over palladium. I register visually without any issues,...
Andrews reply is right. would be helpful to know what you want to shoot and also where your gold mine is. obviously it will be much easier to find a petzval that will cover a head shot on 14X17,...
would love to see these. Images from a talented artist, and incredibly generous person who is missed by many. I truly hope it is a well attended show, and know that his images and spirit will...
You can always look for a high school photo program to donate any extra items. Some kids will be stoked to develop some old donated film or make a couple of prints on a real enlarger. Probably get...
Thats gotta be a sweet looking print Sandy, thanks
