Been thinking of this Japanese based philosophy tonight, in regards to the impermanence of wet plate ambrotypes covered with asphaltum.
Wabi-sabi
Wabi-sabi is a concept that motions us to constantly search for the beauty in imperfection and accept the more natural cycle of life. It reminds us that all things including us and life itself, are impermanent, incomplete, and imperfect. Perfection, then, is impossible and impermanence is the only way.
