Dave Smith, from Against The Stream Nashville
We had a great time with Dave Smith, from Against The Stream Nashville today. A diptych portrait; 8″x10″ wet plate collodion on black metal. Good stories; lots of laughter. Dave is a very admirable guy; he’s done the hard work.
Update: Here is Dave’s talk from last night’s practice, (Sunday night, Sept 30, 2012).

More very cool images. You are nailing the technique. Impressive!!
Stunning portrait Mark. What a fantastic process!
