"The North Dakotan" with Josh Duhamel captured for the first time in the historic wet plate collodion process of silver on glass. Josh is very proud of being from North Dakota and it was an honor to finally be able to immortalize his likeness in the process I hold so dear.  This shoot was six years in the making and the plate with him staring at the lens is going to the State Historical Society of North Dakota to document his legacy in our state.  

I want to thank my good friend Ryan Stander for his assistance today behind the scenes. I am grateful to the Taube Museum of Art for their generous hospitality. This would not have been possible without Sara Coleman at North Dakota Tourism who helped me arrange this shoot.

The frontal plate was donated to the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the plate "The North Dakotan" of Josh in the window was gifted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (The Oscars) in Los Angeles.
