This year, I’ve been working on a new camera build as part of the Alabama State Council for the Arts’ inaugural Gay Burke Memorial Fellowship in Photographic Arts. I’m sure the build will have its own blog post once the camera is done, but in the meantime I’ve been thinking a lot about wet plate and I’m getting excited to shoot more soon.

This is a portrait of photographer Jerimiah Smith, taken on New Year’s Eve 2018. Jerimiah is also an avid analogue photo nerd like me and you can find his work here and here.
