Wet Plate Social

I can’t believe its been two weeks since the Wet Plate Social. I’ve had two very busy weekends and only now getting around to writing a little blog post to thank everyone who came along.

On Saturday 30th Jan I had a little open studio, wet plate social, coffee/cake/chat/shoot sort of thing.

Then on the Sunday I had Jonathan and Mark for a workshop, the following weekend I had another Mark for a workshop and then on Sunday Greg came along. So another four probably hooked on wet plate collodion.

So this weekend I’m going to chill and do some prep/research on a alt photo talk I have to give at work, but more about that when I’ve got something to show.

So, heres some pics from the Social and workshops.

I need some more pics for that wall…

Quick run Simon!

Simons very cool diy stereo camera made from Kodak Brownies…

Yes I do allow modern cameras in the studio…

Got to love a Box Brownie plate.

Gregs last plate… I think the fumes got to him.

Thank you everyone for coming along, especially those of you who travelled such long distances.
