Personal note
Besides this obvious special aesthetic feel to the plates the cumbersome nature of the process has drawn me towards it. In a world of digital hastiness this feels like the perfect kick in the butt it needs. I can use it to emphasize my horror towards today's superficialness as it's so the opposite with showing all the flaws. To me it's the flaws that make for perfect.

The evanescent and unpredictable nature of the process make it suitable for my kind of landscape photography which I will be working on for the time to come.
