I couldn’t agree more. This was a terrific event. It was very kind of you to invite me Carl, I truly appreciate it. Carl and his wife, Liz (and their dog Lewis), were gracious hosts. They provided the wonderful meals, tea and coffee, and their beautiful home for the gathering. Thank you both! (and Lewis too). I met (finally) John Brewer. He’s another terrific bloke. He’s talented and motivated, and kind and conversant. John and I have had a few conversations over a long period of time and it really was great to final meet. John also did a wonderful (Albumen) negative of Katie there. I was happy to be there for that as well. Some more of the group I met that are here on the board, Jo, Katie, Chevonne (sp?), Craig and Claire (Coffer’s assistant last year and the year before). All super talented and wonderful people, it was truly my pleasure meeting all of you. I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s work (in hand). Physical presence makes all the difference in the world. My goal, or purpose, for attending was to meet some of the On Monday we met John and Jo in the center of I hope to see everyone again soon. I’m looking forward to On a side note; we spent Tuesday in We flew out of One more thing, our internet connection at home is down… may be a day or two before we’re fully back… Carl's negative printed on POP.

Hi Rado,
The tomato, (or perhaps cannabis?) tent is good for collodion! Which means we can get portable darkrooms for around £60 on ebay and I can start using my 10"x12" on location! If you search for 'grow tent' there are several sellers, mine is a 'budbox'...
Quinn has some rather fetching pictures of me modelling the grow tent he might post on here....

Thanks for posting. So with a table inside, how well do you think those tents will hold up in heavy wind? Is it fast to set up?

Jo,
Have you used the grow tent on location in strong sunlight or open shade? Joe |

Hello,
I havn't actually used the tent on location yet - I bought it just before the workshop for Quinn to take a look at so its all a bit new to me too. You need to add a zipper pull to close it from the inside and there are some air vent holes that you have to make sure are pulled tight shut with cord to close - to shut out all the light, but this is quite easy to do. It is quite heavy, but folds into a bag that you could carry on your back over a couple of fields. I'm going to add some guide ropes to make it more sturdy in the wind - at present I would worry it might blow away. It folds up and down in about 10 mins - you need a rubber mallet to knock the ends of the support poles in tight though, or else the canvas frame won't stretch over the support poles. it is around a meter square by 1.8m high (i'm short so this is ok!) I use a small folding table - which was advertised as a TV table! it is about 50cm square, so leaves room for me in there... But the important thing is - it is affordable and quite usable! I'm not yet using my 10"x12" on location until I am well into a project - to save chemicals, but will start using the tent on location with this camera next year - for now I'm only making 4"x3" plates so I am just using a small box.. |

Ahhh, damn! That sounded like a great weekend, Im so annoyed that I missed it. Can anybody tell me if there are any similar meetings scheduled to happen in 2009 please? I have been wanting to learn about collodion processes for a while now but havnt been able to afford a flight to America to one of the many workshops that seem to be happening there.
Many thanks Lucy |
