Finally a book!

Hi,

I finally got my act together and created the first book coming out of the Collodion 365 project. Just on time for the holidays! The book showcases some of the photographs from the series "A Collection of Somewhat Random Specimens".

Please take a look:

Also coming soon, a special Christmas bundle will be available for purchase. Stay tuned!

Welcome

I have decided to engage in an ambitious photographic project: create 365 wet-platecollodion photograph within a year (the equivalent of one image per day), starting September 1st 2010. I would like to invite you to follow me on the journey, look at the photographs and post comments if you so desire.

I have discovered collodion photography a while back when exploring the work of Mark Sink and Kristen Hatgi, two denver-based photographers. For the very beginning I was enthralled with the very unique appearance of collodion photographs. I especially enjoyed the marks and artifacts created during the process and the element of chance intrinsic to a photographic method very difficult to control. All this resonated with the aesthetic I was pursuing while manipulating negatives and slide film ( see the Natures Mortes and Feuilles Sentimentales series). It took me however almost two years before I entered the world of collodion practioners.
I have in fact only started experimenting with this very old technique a couple weeks ago. Although I am happy with the results I have gotten so far (see below), I am aware the road ahead is long and paved with challenges and probable deceptions. However my enthusiasm is fresh and growing, which leads me into this adventure.
