A visit from Stephanie

Yesterday, Stephanie Sadler, owner of Teal Art Gallery in Breckenridge, stopped by to pick up some photographs from the series "From the compost".
I took advantage of her visit to show her the wet-plate collodion process and make the following portrait of her:

Stephanie.

We took this picture outside, in my backyard, in the shade of the neighbor's house. I used a blue background, which comes out pretty light. Stephanie did a great job staying still for the 9s exposure.

If you ever go to Breckenridge, you should definitely stop by Stephanie's gallery. It is right on main street, the space is beautiful and the artwork is visually stimulating and intellectually engaging. You can also check the gallery's website at: www.tealartgallery.com.
