Where are you based? I'm in Manchester if you fancy popping by the studio, I could show you the wet plate collodion process.

"@RoyHammans Thanks Roy, we were in touch earlier in the year. There must be a way of getting this archive fully digitised. Michael Pritchard any thoughts?"
"I got excited and thought it had been updated. Sadly still only the front cover and contents page in this archive.
It always surprises me that this influential resource is not fully available online. There must be some way we can help this along."

The Illustrated Collodion News
The Illustrated Collodion News started off as a bit of fun for a small group of wet plate collodion photographers to raise money at charitable events they attended.

Hi Tony,
Just to confirm I would like to buy a copy if they are still available. Can you let me know how to pay? As I said I am in Ireland and will send on my address.
All the best

Hi Tony
Physical prints will be on display at our exhibition at the West End House gallery in Smarden, Kent (the village where George Rodger lived) from April 28-to May 28 - I've listed it on the 'Exhibitions' part of this site - and will be taking part in a show in Paris from 25 May. Our website at evans-hulf.pixelrights.com which shows a wider range of results, although the reduced digital files can't show the material quality of the prints.
Hope you like what you see. I can post more about the experience and process of X-ray film if people are interested. Tom

Hi Tony
Thanks for the comment on 'Chapman' and links. Lovely cameras and I look forward to sharing notes about the experience of restoring and using these extraordinary instruments - and the resulting pictures. I'm immediately curious about what kind of emulsions/plates/films/paper you use to make exposures.
Tom
