I am still occasionally managing to do some landscape work.  This is a folly in a gorgeous park not too far from where I live.  It was great to be out in nature with a camera, which coincidentally is my new Hasselblad X1D!  😀

Amazing Wet Collodium Workshop

Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a photographer before digital?  Before film?  One of my photography heroes is Julia Margaret Cameron and she worked before both, with wet collodium.  I had the opportunity to experience a little bit of what that was like today.
