"Poetry in motion"

After weeks of work, work and more work I finally had a day off.
Weather forecast was good, so we (Ferry, Patrice and Lisa) packed everything
and went out for a shoot.

Chemistry worked well and we managed to make some very nice plates.
Another picture of my daughter  I am extremely happy with.

Actually, I made 2 versions. Don't know yet which one I prefer.
Thank you Patrice for all the work on my video and ferry as being an assistant this time
and as being  the maker of the enclosed digital pictures

European Collodion Weekend ECW 2014

Dear wet platers, 

It’s official now!

The next European collodion Weekend ECW  will take place during the weekend of May 3-4

For now we have about 50 participants which also will be about the max.

I want it to be a gathering, not a festival….;)

Also this year wet platers coming from all over the World.
So maybe next year we will have to name it WCW?
The goal is to learn from each other, show gear and skills and just having fun.

May 3th will be exclusive for the participants.

On Sunday May 4th the event is open for public.
Free access.
So mark your agendas, May 4th 2014!!

Many thanks to Jan Dijkshoorn of Burogram for the design of the 2014 poster
