The masterclasses with Luther Gerlach during the first European Collodion weekend are fully booked !
That is just great as it was a real gamble we took organizing this weekend as it was based on non profit.
Thanks to all who believed in and supported this project from the beginning on.
Tomorrow, march 15th, is the opening of the exhibition.
Showing work of the 6 photographers who will do demonstrations also during the ECW.
Many Thanks and maybe see you tomorrow or during the ECW,
Alex
I always have been fascinated by photography.
But with the introduction of the digital camera it all became too easy, too predictable …to me.
So I forced myself to go back to the roots of real analog photography.
Not just by making the photograph itself, but by controlling the entire photographic process.
This brought me back to the middle of the 19th century, to the amazing Collodion wet plate process.
And every single day I feel challenged to refine and improve myself.

My first solo exhibition
Some time ago Rob ten Tusscher from Fotogalerie Objektief contacted me if i might be interested in a solo exhibition for my wet plate work.
That oppertunity i took with both hands !
I was a he.. of a job framing everything but for me it was worth every minute.
Yesterday early in the morning, my friend Ferry and me drove to Enschede to be sure everything was ready in time.
At 4 o'clock we opened te exhibition which will last untill March 31.
It also was the first time i showed my 20 x 20" plates. I can tell you, they look just great hanging on a wall.
Many, many thanks to all who made this possible. But most of all i want to thank the visitors from who some had a long drive just to visit my exhibition !

Ready for the exhibition
(almost) everything is framed for my exhibition in Enschede.
Varnished my last 20x20" plate yesterday and is ready to mount this afternoon.
Thats what they call "just in time".......
This last one is also my all time favourite. Had a shoot before this one , and nothing but troubles. I even had a small flood in my darkroom. Bit of panic at that time.
Took a drink (limonade....), cleaned a plate, poured, et Voila.....
A plate of my "little" girl
This one is incredibly sharp. Unbilievable that such an old handmade lens can produce such details wide open.
20 x 20"black glass ambrotype
7 secs exposure time
Voigtlander 24"4.5 ( incredible lens !!)
Rapid fixer
