The motorhome and darkroom trailer coming along nicely. Hope they work well, had some plumbing issues last year. I am becoming a bit of a Mr. Fix It to save money now. You got to love YouTube they teach you to do all kinds of things. ]
This years goal is to do complete 16x20 ambrotypes in the field for the AMBROTOS KANATA project. Ending the year with a Tryptic shot from a view point at Dinosaur Provincial park here in Alberta. Thanks everyone for all your help. Hope we can get this done this year. The goal is to take many shorter 4 -7 day trips this year to make ambrotypes. In the future if all goes well will be doing 2-4 month trips.
Here is a plate I just cleaned up after adding the black on the back (stinky Asphaltum mixed with mineral spirits). Photo is a doll found at the dump in Mae Sot, Thailand (THE FAMILIES OF THE DUMP photo project). Part of this last winters wet plate practice sessions, it is an 8x10 on clear glass.
Am off for the first trip of the season on the 17th (5 nights). I hope everything works! It should be fun, fun, fun, fun!
Probably pushing things a bit fast but am 58 now and running out of time to get things done. Thanks again everyone for your help.
