Description

After having his photo taken by John Coffer during a Civil War reenactment event, my next guest decided that being a vintage photographer may be more exciting, or at least less strenuous, than being participant. Having some background in wedding photography in the 1980s, Bob Szabo decided a change in his photographic practices was due. While his Civil War styled images are easily mistaken for originals, he's also had the chance to photograph landscapes in a manner inspired by another historical photographer, Carleton Watkins.

Have an interest in modern day wetplate collodion photography? Chad Shryock, tintype artist at Porkpie Photography, sits down with contemporaries in this photographic process that was widely used from 1850 until the 1880s. After spending over 100 years on the back burner, photographers all over the world are getting into sloshing collodion and slinging tin. Each episode will introduce a current practitioner of the process and discuss why they decided to join this growing group of folks, talk about their photographic gear and other insights into the process.
