Wet Plate Collodion in Brussels, Belgium
Posted on February 8th, 2009 in Collodion Images, Collodion Workshops, Education, Europe, travel
I did a demonstration/performance (that’s what I call them) for a group of photo artists, collectors and friends in Brussels, Belgium Saturday. My friend, Carl Fransman (lives in Brussels and organizes all things photo related), sent me some great photos from yesterday’s shoot/demo/performance - thanks Carl! All photos by Carl Fransman.

Inside the dark-box #3 - aka cleaning a plate.
Pouring a plate with aforementioned “tasty” collodion.
Quinn acting like a magician, trying to keep the tastiness on the plate.
Draining the tastiness. The gentleman behind me has one of the most exquisite 19th century camera/photo collections in Europe - he owns two, yes, two Dubronis. We’ve been invited to his home for dinner and to see his collection!
The first plate - 8×10 Black Glass Ambrotype - a group of photo artist/collectors from Brussels.
The second plate - a Whole Plate Alumitype - varnishing the plate.
