What We Collect - Tintype

What We Collect - TintypeI love the process of photography, especially the older ones that were around at the beginning of photography. Somehow the process takes my mind back in time and my photograph goes along for the ride, it looks old, and has the marks of the makers hand, for better or worse. It is contrasty and backward, the blues are white and the reds are black. 8x10 inch wet plate collodion tintype. One of a kind

My mother and grandmother made jelly from the fruit and I loved it

exquisite light and the linen shift that moved me at this moment

While traveling in the Dordogne region of France I visited this castle built in the 12 century by the Barons of Beynac

6"x 6" inches on an 11 x 15

Like myself this artist collected objects and kept them around

I was struck both by how beautiful they are but also by the open invitation to look into someone's  private window
