I had a fresh batch of developer mixed that I wanted to try out, and also a new head lamp with a red filter, so I loaded up my rig, and headed to the testing grounds. My usual spot was occupied by a tent, so I moved down a bit further. Slow setting up. IContinue reading “Another Bridge Day”

A YEAR FROM NOW
It seems so far away right now, but in one year I will be launching my Kickstarter campaign, Webster’s Wet Plate Wagon. So much to do between now, and then. Past trips I just got off the couch, and headed out, but now I will be doing some training before the big ride. The rigContinue reading “A YEAR FROM NOW”
COFFEE MUGS
In hopes of raising a few extra dollars to fund my next big bicycle adventure I will be selling these nice mugs. The images are from prints taken using the WPCP. Printed on sublimation paper, and transferred to the mugs via a heat press. I’ll have them up on my soap making shop until IContinue reading “COFFEE MUGS”
OUT, AND ABOUT
I had a nice visit from my older Brother, and younger Sister. They drove down fron Maine to spend a day riding bicycles, touring The City, and enjoying a nice selection of food offerings. I had been a little hesitant on riding, as my left quadricep has been rather sore for the past two weeks,Continue reading “OUT, AND ABOUT”

I want to concentrate on glass plate negatives in hope that I can then produce a nice collection of salt, and platinum palladium prints. I will continue doing tintypes also. I have also been giving moreContinue reading “ANOTHER SEASON BEGINS”
Second attempt
A beautiful spring day, so I gathered up my gear, and headed to my usual spot for some tintype work. All them chemicals were months old, and I was curious as to whether I would even get an image. Set up was a little slower. Out of practice. I had to talk myself through eachContinue reading “Second attempt”
Fits, and Starts
Spring arrived a few weeks ago, and I have been looking forward to getting back to doing some wet plate work. Though a bit overcast this morning it was not raining, so I decided to throw some gear together, and set out. When was the last time? Hard to remember off the top of myContinue reading “Fits, and Starts”
Off day
I went out the other day to try a batch of tutti fruitti collodion. This is the remnants from the pour off bottle that is then thinned out. I found a recipe for Po boy colloidian, and thought I’d give it a try. Po boy , unlike regular collodion mixes, does not use ether, butContinue reading “Off day”
Losing weight
Working on my New Year’s resolution? No, just going through all my wet plate gear, and accessories to see how I can lighten the load. First off I am switching out the legs on the dark box. The ones I have currently are maple. Well made , but a little too heavy. Glued up someContinue reading “Losing weight”
