Thank you for your support. There really is an incredible rich depth
within these finished pieces. The feelings within these images are so
prevalent. Photography has so many uses, but my favorite is portraiture,
and that accompanied with this process can keep my eyes attention for
quite some time. They're almost dreamlike, but at the same time, very
real. Ha. Yeah, I'm a sentimental nut. I do truly feel compelled to go
down this path and am having difficulty finding many people in my area
that do such work...
You brought up a good point too. I am not neccesarily looking to assist
someone who does strictly wet plate work, just someone who does do it
and can teach me. In fact, I'd love to be an assistant for a portraiturist or
a commercial photographer. I would love to learn the business side to all
of this as well, for I hope to have a business one day where I do
portraiture and incorporate the wet plate process upon request.
Thanks for bringing that up though, it's good for anyone seeking an
assistant to know.
