Tintypes from the project

I am offering two original tintypes for sale on ebay. They are both from the project "Collodion 365" and were displayed at Redline during the Denver Month of Photography.
Your bid will go towards purchasing chemicals and materials to continue and finish my year-long journey into wet-plate collodion photography.
Visit the links bellow to see the items:

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.
