* Things are groovily getting taking off with tintype collaborations I’m doing with local photographer Emily White. We’re dreaming up more old timey mixed medium portraits splashed with illustrations in the wet collodion chemicals as they dry! stay tuned!
P.S. I’m slowly coming back to the cyber world again, but if you’re curious as to what i’ve been up to the last few years, head over to instagram & search for @thecowboyprince
Also, you can see more of Emily’s work at www.emwhitephoto.com

I’m liking the black glass for wet-plate, but my source has glass thick enough that I’m going to have to see if I can make it work. Blue’s pose here is lovely, though, and goes so well with wet-plate!

@blueriverdream. 8x10 Clear glass ambrotype. You can see some texture in the blacks - that’s the black cloth I have behind the glass plate. From a great shoot with Blue recently.
