Hello,
I have been experimenting and learning about 19th Century Photographic Processes and I want to share what I have learned thru reading, attending demonstrations and workshops and actually working with the old processes.  This has been my response to the trillions of pictures made digitally each day on digital cameras and cellphones with little or no thought by their maker.  Knowing what the photographers of yore had to endure to make a photograph makes me value the old ways more than the innovations made recently.  The best part of learning is sharing ones new knowledge with others; so please enjoy.
