Luther Gerlach makes photographs like they did back in 1851: using the wet-plate collodion process, a painstaking, multi-step technique that uses a chemical solution on glass plates to capture images with remarkable depth of detail. We followed him at the Getty Villa as he used his traveling darkroom and prepared for his artist-at-work demonstrations on 19th-century photography -- free, drop-in programs about historical art-making techniques.

Love the silver nitrate stains streaming down his arm. You don't get that with digital. Mr. Gerlach practices real photography!

Wet plate is some hardcore photography. I've been shooting film for the last year or so and I'm a total amateur compared to this guy.

I really like this video and how even-handedly Luther makes a case for his work in comparison with other forms. I didn't 'get it' until he gets to the point of saying a 15 photograph day would be a very full day and then 'sells' us on the value to us of this effort. Thank you, Luther!
