santa fe photographic workshops

 I am excited to be a recipient of this season's Emerging Photographer Scholarship at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops! I will be using this scholarship to take Christopher James's Advanced Alternative Processes: Projects workshop this summer.

I plan to work on perfecting the wet plate collodion process, making glass negatives and ambrotypes and continuing my tintype series.

weeds & the portable darkroom

This past weekend, I used my portable darkroom for the first time. The box was constructed for me by local carpenter, Roger Atkins and the dark cloth was sewn for me by Dana Boucher. Above is the first image I made with the box and although I don't think its a stellar image, its a start. I am excited to finally be able to take wet plate on the road with me.

truth or consequences

I stumbled across an old roll of film and processed it to find a few images from last year in T or C. This one is my favorite.

One of my mordançage photographs was selected by juror Blue Mitchell for the Texas Photographic Society's International Competition.
