Soul of the Stream, with @blueriverdream.  Palladium toned kallitype.

Starting to get some prints ready for 16x20 frames for showing.

@pattyhankins and I had a great session with @dakotasnow yesterday!  Here’s one of my tintypes from the session in the wash.

I’m getting a backlog for kallityping - gotta warm up the darkroom!

@pattyhankins and I had a fantastic shoot today with @celestialcreature!  Here’s a sneak peak from the shoot.

@livsage.  This photo took me a fair amount of “try and try again” before I got it where I wanted it, but the print is absolutely gorgeous!  Copyright 2018, William Lawrence.

For all you trying wet-plate out there - just to show that sometimes things just don’t go right.  For some reason the darkslide was pressing against the plate and marred the collodion on what is otherwise a lovely photograph of Rebecca.  After two tries like this, I switched to my backup plate holder and the issue went away.  So hang in there - there’s a lot of troubleshooting, but wet-plate is worth it!

From a session in 2016, every now and then it’s good to go through the archives to see what you missed.  Melancholic’s pose is lovely here!
