    Posted October 25th, 2010

    I am not on some strict plan to only shoot local artists.  The hell with that!!  Every time I meet someone, I can’t help but visualize a portrait of them in collodion.   I met Wuon Gean while she was visiting  Print Zero and Seattle from London.  She has shown at Davidson Galleries and was on her way to Canada to give an artist talk.  Her print work is very sensitive and powerful.  She seemed very interested in the collodion process so I invited her to sit for a portrait. She was there  and watched me shoot a couple of portraits ealier in the week.

    Shot with my favorite lens- the Vitax at 4 seconds and wide open.  It had been hot in Seattle and this photo was taken on one of the hotter days.  The plate started to dry around the edges where the collodion was the thinnest.

    Soil Auction

    Posted October 25th, 2010

    Very honored to be invited to donate a piece for the SOIL Auction this year.  I had a little trouble trying to find a portrait to donate so I figured I would just donate a portrait of my big studio camera named Daisy.  It was fun to see itget bids and to see who won the auction.  It definitely went to a very good home.

    under the Darkcloth

    Posted October 25th, 2010

    Here is a funny picture Brian Lane took of me while I was shooting Alda.  I usually have all the lights dimmed and compose without the darkcloth but Brian was there doing something.

    I am shooting with the 18 inch Wollensak Verito diffused focus lens.

    The New 11 x 14 Deardorff Studio Camera

    Posted May 16th, 2010

    Here is the Deardorff Studio Camera shortly after it arrived.   It came with an the original 11 x 14 back and an 8 x 10 reducing back.  The lens is a 16 inch(400mm) Wollensak Vitax Portrait lens with a fast f/3.8.  A wonderful lens with a knob to set the amount of diffusion.  The shutter works but lacks some mechanical elements to make it useful.  I managed to secure a #6 packard shutter with a 4.25 inch opening.  My dilemma is a camera stand or a sturdy tripod or camera dolly for this monster which weighs in at a whopping 60 plus pounds.
