"The Five Transitions of Grief" - Denial, Misery, Bargaining, Acceptance and Overpowering, a wet plate collodion pentaptych, with the fabulous Caylin Cathey and Kevin R Tengesdal. Ola Klimczak was also present to help behind the scenes. We have all felt grief and we all experience in our own ways. I believe it is the Oncology nurse in me that draws me to this reflection.

Carl Zeiss Tessar 300mm lens, f4.5, 11 seconds of exposure, 8x10" black glass ambrotypes, natural light through Northern facing windows and skylight.
