Let it sit for a few more months!

I am not sure I have much choice. I haven't figured out a way to preserve it yet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I assume that the normal varnishing process would ruin it.

Tri - awesome. Interesting to see how wood renders so dark - guess its combination of being less reflective than white china + being reddish.

Thanks Gents. I hope the behind the scene shot gives you some ideas. Boost the highlight then you will have a nice contrast.

I had an amazing opportunity to share wet plate collodion with Sid Kaplan a few weeks back. Here are the plates we made..
All are 8x10 tins, shot with a Chamonix 8x10 and a Dallmeyer 3B

Andrew wins this month's "how cool is that?" prize! Wonderful portraits, Andrew, and I bet Sid got a big kick out of the experience.

More interesting to me that the blue decoration rendered so dark. I thought blue would show up as a light tone or even merge with the white.
