Wow, has it been 4 years? I took myself offline for a bit to get life sorted out. We sold our house in town and tried our hand at downsizing into apartment life, as you can imagine, this life for a wetplate collodion photographer is difficult. After a good long rest, we finally purchased another home in the country, a small home, but we’ll make it work somehow. I am finally, at the prodding of my daughter, getting my photo mojo back on.
This process led me to the beginning again as I was quite rusty and needed to refresh myself on the basics again. I spent time with John Coffer in 2013 at his farm and I began revisiting all the material that I had collected from him. I poured through the “Doer’s manual”, watched his helpful video series and took another look at the photos I made while I was there. I made a short video that strings together some of the 2013 vintage video and put it out on YouTube.
Here are a few other images I made that week..
