Models Stacie Snow and Sasha Fae clowning around in the studio wearing kimono.

This is a scan of a unique glass-plate ambrotype. All chemistry is hand-mixed and poured and dipped, then the plate is exposed, developed and varnished. For more information about the process, here

I have currently listed this on ebay with a starting bid of $1 and no reserve!

I love how their faces are hidden in shadow. Somehow that makes it the subject for me--not what they are doing but who they might be.

Yeah, that was fun to arrange (with large format stuff like this, nothing happens by chance - I spend a lot of time talking things over with the models and setting everything up)

You are using old school techniques and getting results that so many of "us" digital photographer try to reproduce and making it look amazing! You have such an amazing gift that some, like myself, could only dream of! Yes, I admit, I look up to in aww!
