Thanks. Yeah, it's almost like that other, modern female wetplater who has all the fame from her plate's flaws, and shall go unnamed!

Goamules: If I got your reference correctly, that woman photographer's initial fame came from her film photographs of her family, well before she decided that she liked wet plates. There are many (myself included, and I even took a workshop with her many years back) who think her earlier work is much better than her wet plates, so it isn't accurate to attribute her success to the flaws in her wet plates. Not really picking on your comment, more having fun with the "she who shall not be named!"
Is the name Sally Mann somehow verboten around here? Did I miss the memo?

OK, ok, I'll post one of the other plates. Because maybe I can be famous like the One Who Cannot be Named. The mystery of this plate is called "One Foot." It's ethereal lack of focus is foreshadowing the transience of light and life, it's artifacts speak to the wounds of our collective consciousnesses. The photographer embraces verbose and vivid vernacular to elicit empathetic verdicts:

Ari: Aside from the fact that Goamules may have fooled all of us, I really liked the portrait of your wife. I only hope that she isn't seated in the middle of what looks too much like an active roadway... (That isn't a critique of the picture, which as I said is well-done as well as showing your wife very attractively, just kidding about the location.)
Hi Ari,
I rarely have time to pop in, good to see you are shooting, love the pic.
After Lac Megantic settles down, coffee on the V anytime soon?
