Eric Nelson, "Wet-plate collodion and a pinhole lens"

"Pinhole photography is a wonder in scale and directness. It shows the world as it appears through the "eye" of the lens. Rectilinear and precise, or with a note of arty diffusion pending the photographers' sensibilities. Here are "bust" carvings by my dad shown on a windy day with "tintype" process."
"My camera is an old one, built in 1996. I used this one with elementary aged and middle school students (each had one). I used a large aperture to give enough exposure for the wet-plate collodion ASA1.6 . It was windy and the camera rocked for some images. 1/16in aperture one minute exposure."
