Well done.

Very well done Joe! I like the look, and that technique is really cool.

At the end of the month we will be celebrating National Camera Day and will be asking everyone to share a photo of their Film Camera setup, either past or present. It will be great to see your setup in there too.

The pose communicates a lot for this portrait.

Where on earth do you find the props for shots like this? Do the participants bring their own stuff?

Such elegant work in this photo

Thanks all. I use an old Deardorff 8x10 Camera, with a French brass Petzval lens from the 1870's... The wet plate collodion technique is from the 1850's....
