Topic: My Last U.S. Demo Posted: 28 June 2006 at 08:59 |
Well, I did my last demonstration last night for the Northern Utah Photo Group at the Brigham City Fine Arts Center. It was very exciting and I had a great response. They are a fine group of people.

Thanks Greg. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy them! I will definitely keep posting these.
I owe a HUGE THANK YOU! to my daughter Summer and wife Jean. Without them, NONE of this happens for me!! Summer shot all of these photos for me last night and Jean is always shooting photos, holding plates, watching gear, making sure I'm hydrated, etc.. I love them very much!! |

Quinn, it's fantastic you have such a loving supportive family, (and I'd been wondering who'd done such a good job of documenting the whole thing!) I wish you all well on your travels, I may have to make a trip to mainland Europe one of these days! all the best Christina

Thank you Christina.
I would like to visit Bishop Stortford, Hertforshire, do you know where that is? It's where Archer was born. It would be great to do some wet plate work in the place where he was born or in London (on Great Russell Street in Bloomsbury) where he setup studio and "invented" the wet plate process. I've been to London, but I didn't visit these places, but I will. |

Hey Quinn, you must let me know when you plan on coming over it'd be great to meet up - I've never been to Bishop's Stortford myself, so maybe that could be a meeting point! (As far as I'm aware it's a small market town pretty close to London).. I'd really like to go to Kensal Green Cemetery, the other end of his life journey I guess.. As I'm sure you're aware Sean MacKenna's website features a collodion image taken by Sean of where he's buried.
Best wishes Christina |

I was at the demo Quinn did in Brigham City. It was much different than many demonstrations/lectures I have gone to. Most I have attended have something happen, especially the computer based stuff as it never quite works right. Everything in his demonstration went off without fail. Smooth, well prepared and the weather cooperated for the outside portraits. If you have a chance to book Quinn for your group it is well worth the time, effort and cost to get him there. The enthusiasm he has for his work shows and his explanations are clear and informative. You folks in Europe better get him booked for some workshops and demonstrations. It is a positive experience.

I forgot to mention... Quinn was another in a long line of excellent speakers and presenters to our Northern Utah Photo Club. The list includes Tillman Crane, Michael A. Smith and Paula Chamlee, Craig Law, Kent Miles and a number of other photographers with excellent work. If you don't get great programs like Quinn better get on the ball as a lot of the top people are available and appreciate an audience who hungers to see their work. |

I wanted to thank Quinn as well. What a great presenter! Very generous with information and it was very kind of him to allow us to participate. I really enjoyed the process. I'm looking around for plate holders as I write. (Multitasking). All I can say, is "What a great process this is!"
Viel Gluck ins Deutschland! |

Q,
Great pix and another great presentation. I've been out of touch because I'm currently in London on the tail end of a 3-week trip that began with teaching a gum-platinum workshop in Scotland. I've been asked to return next year to teach gum-platinum again in Scotland and Wet Plate in London... Hoping I can work out all the logistics. Perhaps AltPhotoSource Europe will be able to supply materials!? Good luck with your move! Kerik |

Hey Kerik,
Thanks man! It's good to see you around here again. Life can be busy, I know! That's great about your UK deals! Congrats! And as far as AltPhoto Source (Europe), plan on it, it's already in the works. I'll be doing a few workshops there too, maybe we can hookup when you come over. I would really like to do something in Archer's hometown or where he invented the process... just for kicks. |
