Walker: Very cool. Since Sally Mann is your hero(ine), it’s not surprising to see serendipity play a key role in your wet plate photography. Also, nice how the imperfections in the process frame the subject. For what it’s worth, the “comets” might go away with additional filtering of your developer and/or silver nitrate. Is the fogging in this plate related to the darkroom lighting issude we talked about before?

You are off on a great start! Much better than my first one (and some of my current one’s)
I love the mysterious look of the subject surrounded by the artifacts. Can’t wait to see more!

Sometimes I feel photographers use process to make up for lack of image. Here, the ambrotype only makes the image better. I’m confident that had this been taken with a ‘blad and some t-max 100, it’d still be just as wonderful a portrait, but you’ve made it something more (if that’s possible) by taking the effort you did.

I’m not sure how you’ve done this, but it sure looks cool

Outstanding Walker…it is almost as if she is emerging from mist or smoke! It must be so satisfying to see the end results when you are trying to master a new..old process. Love this so can’t wait to see more. Phil
