# About me
Photography has been a very large part of my life as far back as I can remeber , I have always been a very visual person. If I had to choose what type of photography interests me the most I would have to say it is portraiture. When I have a camera in my hand I feel empowered. I really dont have a "favorite" camera, it really depends on what I am photographing and what mood I am in at that particular time as to what camera I use. I do love wetplate collodion, it is a very hands on process that requires skill , experience and patience to master. And the best part is, if done correctly , the tin type plates will last indefinately. Hows that for archivability!! I learned wetplate from the best....John Coffer who is the father of the modern day wetplate process.Current Residence: Long Island,NY
Print preference: FB/Matt finish/Warmtone
Favourite genre of music: All

you should do more photography, you have a good eye for it, try coverting some images to black and white just for fun. Frank

Greetings to Barkeater62,
Since many here on deviantART would not know about Wetplate photography, could we see an image of your camera? Perhaps even a "self-portrait"?
