Miami University visit

What a blast -  to get to visit my alma mater and do a workshop with the students of the guy who got me hooked on photography. So great to see Jon Yamashiro and the great  students at Miami.

I suggested the basic arrangement for the shot and adjusted the lighting but all the plate preparation and development was done by students. Wet plate work can be tricky and I was really impressed by how quickly the students seemed to pick it up.
