A New Chapter

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 16, 2009, 6:01 AM



:spotlight-left: Graduation Project :spotlight-right:


So, I finally finished my school and graduated last June with the project I was working on for over a year. I have uploaded them in the "art" section so you can check them out. Feel free to comment, I am looking forward to hearing critiques. For the record, Critiques are opinions that matter.

I hope I can let go of the subject a little now, but I doubt it ;) It was crazy working on, very tiring and extremely satisfying in the end. The piece of paper that is called diploma I don't really care for, but it was great working on something I had built in my head and making it reality.
Screw society! I hope you get the message!


:blackrose: Wet Plate Collodion :blackrose:


I am working on setting this up and it's slowly coming together. I've been to the Photo Fair in Bievres where I met Quinn Jacobson, the person who is giving the workshops, and watched him working with it. I am absolutely in love!
The process is more than mesmerizing and I hope to start it soon. It's a lot of work (and money) to set it up, getting the chemicals etc... but it should be around August I can pour my first plate.

Ow, and meet my new camera! It's a true wet plate camera dating from around 1860 so it's a real beautiful oldie!

:rose: Time Issues :rose:


I am sorry I have not responded to journals or deviations in my mailbox. Sorry that I responded so late to replies and comments. It takes too much time and I need it to do my work. So I come to say, not that I will be leaving, but I just won't be around anymore or at least hardly anymore.
The people that want to stay in touch have enough means to find me and there are already some that I luckily have around on some other virtual platform.
I wish you all the best of luck and I'll catch you later on the flipside ;)
