" Wet Plate " Series

Smithsonian Institution Bldg ( The Castle )  /  Washington DC

 I updated my NIK Software and discovered it added a new effect - Wet Plate.  Ive always loved the look of Wet Plate or Collodion Process Images but just never made the effort to pursue it.  Even though I basically still have all the 4x5 equipment /ect - I spent many many years with a full blown Film Processing and Print Darkroom - Have sold off much of that equipment and am pretty sure my sticking my hands in chemicals days or over.  I've noticed that many Designers selecting Images for Corporate or Hospitality Interior Design Projects have been choosing stylized Black and White Images for Install.  So I've been fooling around with this effect and created a Wet Plate Series of Washington DC Images that you may see in the link below - but who knows - maybe someday I'll get around to trying the real thing

Map of My Brain

iPhone w/ Hipstamatic

Driving through some incredibly remote/utterly featureless area of Nebraska (I summed up this trip with the thought that I have been just about Everywhere, but I had never been Nowhere) out of the blue I randomly stumbled upon a fairly decent Flea Market.  I think it was fate because the very first thing I laid eyes upon was this old metal game, which happened to be the most accurate map of my brain I have ever come across.  I bought it on the spot.  It's been hanging in my house for years now and I look at it almost every day.  It reminds me that the Swirling Vortex I operate in is a good thing (in fact a blessing) providing I am able to effectively employ the Swirl and maintain a Positive Spin.
