Historical Processes

  After mentioning that I will not be on here much, I now have things to share, or at least things to store for myself. This is week in my 19th century materials and processes class we made paper negatives, collodian positives, ambrotypes and tintypes. Last week as a class we watched the daguerreotype processes and created two! I sat for the tintype (with my early morning tired face). I had to sit for 25 seconds; you can see I moved my foot and it looks like there are three feet. Hope to share more about tintypes later when I make them next month.

my addition to a great site that is useful to all world wide. 

still down for now.

   I got accepted in to the masters program for Photographic Preservation and Collections Management at Ryerson University in Toronto, ON. This means no free time to play and shoot, but if anything happens my flicker will let you know. 
   I may try to use this space to inform about the great projects me and my fellow students are work on. As a class we watched one of our professors make daguerrotypes last week, so there is interesting things happening! I hope to also explain more about the program here too when I have a free moment... ha! 
But I will leave you with a photobooth strip that was taken last week with me and little birdie. In the subways of Toronto there are a few photobooths lurking in dead corners, a nice random surprise!
