Delayed Fix.

A recap in case you missed the previous post. I took a poorly poured wet plate, and rather than binning it I coated the surface with a glycerin solution with the intent of delaying the fixing step.

The large black spots are areas that did not receive developer, but the plate looks to have survived the day’s sittings on a shelf with little harm.

I am pleased with the results, but will try it a few more times with better quality plates. Thursday looks to be a near perfect day for a venture out with the bicycle, and gear. An early morning start with the goal of getting past The Bridge to find another subject.

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.
