Decided to play it smart and take it slow with the wet plate work. I will start out doing tintypes 4x5 and up. Will work with the Deardorff and the Chamonix (can do up to 16x20 images). No trailer or truck darkrooms just yet. I will start off with a $200 CAD ice fishing tent as my darkroom and use smaller cameras. Lets see if I really REALLY love this process, I think I will. In the workshop I took I loved it, in all the online vids I have watched I love it. I still need more first hand experience before I totally commit to this thing.
Eventually I could be doing large ambrotypes on black and ruby glass with a 24x32 Chamonix but lets start out first with smaller baby steps and move on from there.
