Description
Growing up, I was fascinated by folk tales about Pecos Bill, Paul Bunyan and other characters from American history. In this season 3 opener, I finally tracked down the Johnny Appleseed of wetplate, John Coffer. Making an 11,000 mile journey across the United State in a horse drawn wagon, John made his way town to town, figuring out the collodion process in the mid 1970's and capturing authentic ferrotype images at every stop. John is a great story teller, so get comfortable and listen to this larger than life character talk about traveling the country, life on the farm and teaching collodion as a wetplate pioneer.
