Luther Gerlach has arrived

Yesterday Luther gerlach and Peter van Hal visited my home.
It's always interesting seeing other wet platers making their own plates.
Boy i can learn a lot from him. We tried his beautiful antique camera which he brought from the states.
We have experimented with different colors of glass, other chemicals en discussed many formulas.
He's already making wet plates for more than 15 years. He's like a walking collodion library....
I love his work, just fantastic.

I couldn't resist making a portrait but he really hates it sitting in on front of the camera....
