Wet Plate photography, is taking the time to smell the roses. To walk thru the process, smell the chemicals and work to improve every new picture you create with all the flaws is like stepping back when things were slower paced. In our world of instant everything it is rewarding to take the time and energy to slow down and see how hard our forefathers had it. It makes you appreciate what it took to make America such a great country and the craftsman who made it. .

Wet plate collodion is for me is a question about being slow. Both me as a photographer and the sitter as well as my curiosity of historic photographic process. By slowing down both me and sitter get time to reflect, instead of shoots hundreds of raw files in my 5dmkii. I’ll also get a closer contact with the material I’m using and let the emulsion evolve in a pace with my ideas, ie basically true to the material. This essential in my relation to Art & Craft movement from end of 1900th century.

Wet Plate collodion process, for me at all living substance which acts as energy storage Wilhelm Reich – this glass battery movements of thought photographed may transfer to the operator as positive thoughts as the dark side of man, therein lies the main problem that we are trying to solve.
