The Giant Wet Plate and the Darkvan
Wednesday, 3 February 2010
The Durst Laborator 5x7 Condenser, my third love. Parts of it have lived outside, wrapped tightly over the winter, a little surface rust, but it is in and nearly ready, my thanks Rodrigo, for your help today.
The Darkvan is a traveling darkroom, capable of Ultra large format photography with the Wet Collodion process, with a two birth sleeping quarters to the front.
I was raised outside of cites, in the quiet and still, but amongst machinery, black smithing and wood work.
My father, a horse drawn carriage builder and master joiner/boat builder. has informed my interest and photography has been my practice.
I have worked with a number of Collaborators to make work together on a number of projects, and collaborate on the perceived ideas of photography and film making.
My own pursuits are yet to be seen, as form my own archive.
Looking good. Thanks Roddy, you are now honoury member of the lab.
