A quick little project at lunch. This is my new drying box, a light tight place where freshly poured plates will be placed to dry. A few sheets of foam board, some gaffers tape, and a small, battery powered fan thatI bought at Goodwill. The fan will circulate the air, it is set up in a baffle that will keep the plates from fogging.
I have shot numerous dry plates in the past, and am looking forward to creating some nice glass negatives.
A New York based photographer who still shoots film. Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work. View more posts
