Jon Batiste Wet Plate Collodion"Soul"

“Soul” with the one and only Jon Michael Batiste, captured for the first time in the historic 1851 wet plate collodion process of pure silver on glass. Jon recently won an Oscar and has 11 Grammy nominations later this week.

You will not find a more talented and kind human being. While I was preparing the plates, he sang and played the piano for my family. This original plate is earmarked for the Louisiana State Museum where he was born and raised.
