news about Bill

Hand Made Cameras

I made three cameras for my Wetplate collodion photography. Read More

Darkroom Bus

The wet collodion process is an early photographic process that requires the photographic material to be coated, sensitized, exposed and then developed within a few minutes before the plate dries. To work in the field, this process requires a movable darkroom, so I converted a big bus to a darkroom RV.

my Works

I am looking for a gallery, art dealer, or curator to help me, If you like my works,Please contact me!
All works is pure silver image on original unique works (1/1), direct photography by camera, not by enlarge or print, so every piece is unique with hundreds years life. For off grid huge Wetplate landscape photography is a lot of work, a lot of time.
