The Getty & My Wet Plate Collodion Photographs

Last Friday, I received a package from The Getty Institute. It contained information about my photographs I submitted for their analysis and collection for the project, "Preserving the Chemical Photography Era".

It's packed with information about the Wet Plate Collodion images I submitted. There's a lot of "geeky" scientific stuff (Get Your Geek On!). I'm going to make some more images for them - they've asked for some specific things to help them with their research and moreover, for future generations. I believe that there will be a time, in the not-to-distance future, when "photo students" won't know what film is, let alone a process like Wet Plate Collodion. It makes me feel honored to be a part of this project!
