Wet Plate Collodion at the Virginia Highlands Festival

 Through generous support and interest in Abington's culture and art, Cary Street Partners invited me to the Virginia Highlands Festival. I judged a Photography show and lectured on my work in historic processes and demonstrated the Wet Plate Collodion process with the help of my new friend Bruce "Amodel"Large. Who supplied the shots of me at work.

That's Hannah behind the camera, she won the peoples choice award and dang nearly won the show, all at age 14. She's cool.
  Me on the shutter, Bruce looking real, and a modern "Photographic Van" in sunset orange, between us.
 I finished the day with a trail run in the afternoon rain.
 That happens a lot lately.
Visit southwest Virginia if you can.
By the way, its the land of O Winston Link...
