I spent four days one-on-one at Camp Tintype back in November....what a great time. I look forward to going to the Jamboree in a few weeks! I see you got "Toes" the cat in your second pic. Enjoy the collodion. John is a great guy. I spent four days one-on-one at Camp Tintype back in November….what a great time. I look forward to going to the Jamboree in a few weeks!

I made the mistake of not thinking he kept up with the evolution of the photographic process. His early work was obviously done with wet plates but like the rest of us he used the best new tools that were available and useful for the situation (which faster plates certainly would have been). I will look for the dvd you mentioned. Thanks again. Sincerely, Keith Hello Jay,

You mentioned ES Curtis, and I believe he surfed the wave of the dry plate. Viewing ES Curtis images is a journey to where the brush and canvas met the age of photography. Curtis used the lens, and new faster "dry plate negatives" to make fast shutter speed (up to 1/100 sec) portraits that were free of blurred eyes, and gaunt expressions. Did he make/change history with his vision of the "vanishing race"? Was he just an artist trying to make his mark? Bring yourself closer to an answer. Search out "THE INDIAN PICTURE OPERA", Amazon.com (dvd). It's a 1911 Curtis lecture and slide show that indicates what he was thinking at the time. Decide for yourself what impact he thought he would have. Jay. The evolution of the photographic process has been remarkable.
