I was reading about the the dry plate process and making albumen prints. Well, I don't think I'll be going down this road anytime soon. I was looking for something a little easier than wet plate collodion (not that I'm totally serious about doing it but I'm definitely interested). I guess it's easier, you don't have to have a mobile darkroom, but my god it's so time consuming. And the dry plate method highlighted is not the traditional one. I don't like the scale produced using the liquid emulsion that is used in this "recipe."
I cook two to three meals a day and do dishes constantly (or that's what it seems). These processes remind me of the tedium of doing dishes and cooking gumbo. But with these processes the soap and water and ingredients can kill you if not handled properly. I really don't think I have the stomach to struggle with one of these processes. I still could try the barrel lens sometime and see if that gets me closer to what I 'think' I want.
Okay I guess my new year's resolution still stands. Wow, it made it through one day.
