I discovered wet plate in 2013. It saved my life, quite literally. I have been obsessed with it ever since, I love it's imperfections, it's capacity to capture emotion in a way that seems very different from other forms of photography. The dark room and the process sooth me, it forces me to take the time, to slow down in the midst of the hectic lives we lead, to create an object that has something precious coming from the fact each image is unique, not reproducible, the object is what counts as no digital version of a plate renders the true depth and quality of the image.
