Thanks for your kind words Lucy. Wet plate collodion is a pretty special process. It is one where the photograph is an object in itself. It reflects light and has a depth that needs to be seen - better still to be held in ones hands. It is an easy process to learn - you just need to be meticulous and to care for your chemistry. More and more people are learning the process which is great news and hopefully the revival will continue.
