First, in October, a travel workshop at Yosemite National Park in California. We will be walking in the footsteps of the masters! The workshop is for those interested in exploring an antique technology in a place of stunning beauty. Participants of various skill levels are welcome. We will be using half plate ( a little bigger than 4 x 5" ) and 8 x 10" cameras to document places like Half-Dome, Bridal Veil and Glacier Point. Processing will be done on-site in darkroom tents. We will be making tintypes (images on aluminum, actually), ambrotypes (images on glass) as well as glass negatives. This is a messy, smelly, slow process, but the results are very unique and gratifying.
The itinerary is somewhat flexible, but plan on long days. The workshop is offered through the Julia Dean Photo Workshops in Hollywood. For more information, please visit the link below.
