Video by Patrick Richardson Wright (Seattle), featuring Dan Carrillo (Seattle) using the wet plate collodion process.  He shoots on a 1930 Deardorff 11×14 View Camera, which has been modified to shoot 8×10 wet glass plate collodions. Check out Carrillo’s portraits on his blog (or on his flickr).

For those of you who are unfamiliar with photographic processes, you might find this video pretty interesting.  Well, you’ll find it interesting even if you are familiar with photographic processes!

Watching You Watch Me

“The project ‘Watching you watch me’ is discovering how a photographer can get as close as possible to others, without acting illegal. I have taken portraits of people throught a mirror, when they are totally unaware of the camera inside. This way I get shots of people watching themselves. Since the pictures are taking in public spaces, I can publish them however I want to. At least in Sweden, where the laws are generous to journalists and artists. But in which forums and publications does the single individual feel insulted? ‘Watching you watch me’ is an effort to create debate on laws and ethics within the photographer’s role.”
