Hey guys. Lately you have probably seen my panoramic shots made with vintage Kodak Brownie no.3a and 10x16 dry plates. I have been constantly shooting Dry Plate...s for the last 4 years and in the last year I have been working hard to spread the knowledge and the beauty off almost forgotten photographic technique. I am very happy to announce that I am bringing some history back and making Dry Plates available to everyone 4x5 Standard ISO 2 glass Dry Plates made to order by hand are now available in my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com//dry-plates-4x5-pack-of-10-hand-coated I can also custom make them any size you want just DM me :) See more

"Colour by the Hicrome and Hiblock systems," by Bob Lansdale." "We've collected a number of images that are marked as having been done with the Hicrome system to show that it was a viable system. The still life of fruit and wine was commissioned for the December 1915 issue of American Photography magazine as a tip-in. Although credited as: Reproduced from Hicrome Photograph on Paper,"... Its sharpness and vibrant colours seem to indicate the overwork of the graphic artist. The portrait (above) by Elias Goldensky was engraved directly fromthe original colour print. I represents the best rendition we have seen in several books and magazines of this picture." ---------- Illustrations from article, titled Colour by the Hicrome and Hiblock systems," by Bob Lansdale.

We don't know what to say, and words may not be enough right now, but we will not stay silent. We acknowledge that we need to show more diversity within the photographic history of this country. This is the time to learn, build empathy, and understanding. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
