A look at an early photographic process in the hands of four contemporary photographers. Tintype, Ambrotype, Alumitype–all are part of the wet plate collodian tradition, producing singular images without negatives. Portraits, still-life, landscapes, and a process called “photogenic drawing” will all be presented. Featuring works by Euphus Ruth, Jenny Sampson, S. Gayle Stevens and Bruce Schultz.
