I spent the afternoon scanning the plates that I received from my friends at the European Collodion Weekend 2019 in Luxembourg. The magical work of Maris Locmelis, Silvano Magnone and Anabelle Schattens. The next step is to frame them on black felt and hang them in my studio to share with all the visitors of my natural light studio.

I am so blessed to have such creative artists in my life. I feel that these images will bring a smile to my children's faces long after I am gone. The ultimate power of photography is to leave a permanent record of the past.

Thank you Maris, Anabelle and Silvano.
