Never mind the Albumen question, I actually read (!) and see that you send
the paper unsensitized, but include the silver with the toner. I am interested in trying the paper, and will certainly make an order sometime soon. |

I enjoyed perusing your shelves! I agree with Joe that you need a side bar
menu for plates and paper, and perhaps also for the other sundries, like plate holders and other goods you might sell. As for other stuff to sell; Lab-ware particularly scales, hydrometers, aprons, beakers, pouring bottles, et cetera. Specific equipment for Wet-Plate; silver-baths, plate vises, developing trays... great work! jason ps: curious about your albumen paper; is it sensitized in Silver Nitrate or just albumenized? |

It seems to be working OK this evening. I just placed an order and everything went smoothly online.
Will you be adding items like hydrometers and labware? Joe |

Thanks everyone. I will take those suggestions and add/edit/modify the site and services.
I am making about 1500mls of (warm tone) positive Collodion this weekend. I have bulk raw chemistry coming in (as well as supplies) the week of the 27th. So, if you want some Collodion now, place it and I'll have it shipped in a few days (Monday at the latest). I will actually have the Collodion made, tested and ready to ship at the production date. I've got a method, but will be adjusting as I go along. The DVD should be ready to go in ~90 days. I didn't have time to upload and have you guys review every chapter, but it's coming along and will be offered with the manual and without it. I'm working on shipping to Europe now. So far, it's slow and feedback is limited, we'll see. It could be EXTREMELY expensive. I appreciate your patience and support, bear with me and we'll make this work! It will get easier and easier as we move forward. Any problems or issues, feel free to contact me. Edited by admin |

Congratulions Quinn, Good on you!
I live in Switzerland and was wondering can you ship over sea's ( i know the answer)? Maybe you should have something about international orders on the site, just my 2 cents. Or maybe you do buy I couldn't find it. James |

Quinn,
The site looks great. I'm in the same boat as Joe - I need collodion NOW. Congrats, Kerik |

Looks good Quinn. I'll second that opinion about how nicely the site is laid out and easy to navigate.
One suggestion: make another sidebar menu for plates and paper. And a couple questions: I see you have a production date coming up of March 11th. Do you have any collodion ready to ship now and is there a ripening and tesing period involved for that March date? Any idea when the DVD may be released? Congratulations on getting this up and running. Joe |

Congratulations Quinn ! The site looks great....very nicely laid out
and very complete ! I wish this type of source existed last year when I
was scraping together all my materials. I had two quick questions
though (and figured I would just ask them here)...
1. What is the (real world) difference between the two Negative Intensification Kits ? 2. It appears that the Albumen paper is sold in packets of 10 sheets, but its not entirely clear...is this the case ? Once again, beautiful job and I'm about to place my 1st order .... -Greg |
