Another publication

This magazine just fell on the door mat.
It contains lots of cultural information about Brabant, the provence i live in.
With the help of Joep Eijkens, correspondent of Brabant Cultureel, i have been published again with this beautifull photographic process !.
Sorry it's in Dutch...
Just click on one of the two pictures to see the larger versions

Vera and Alex

Recently two very enthusiastic photographers joined me at my studio to take theirs first steps into the wet plate world.
Alex told me that he really didn't knew what to expect from this proces and Vera already new some details about wet plate.
Vera also experimented with pinhole photography and she loves alternative photograpique processes. Just remember her name : Vera van Almen
http://www.veravanalmen.nl/  She's a talented photographer !

As soon as they flowed there own plates they were caught by the "collodion virus".
A many of you already have noticed before, it's a very agressive verus.
Alex is already searching for a wet plate camera...

A brief impression of that day.
