You, sir, are a genius. Thanks so much for keeping this process alive. I think your work may have made Mathew Brady's chin drop, were he to have ever seen it. I saw some of your work on your website, and I love it!

Thanks a lot for the explanation! Where can I get more detailed information about this process? Are the chemicals easy to come by? Thanks once again! Keep it up!

Wow!

Is that Bad Brad sitting for the shoot??? I watched this video curious about the process, having no idea there was any connection to Utah (where I grew up!)
Funny coincidence. Thanks for the vid.

@quinnjacobson Yep! As the old saying goes, "Blues had a baby and they called it rock & roll."

@ZoneIII The cost of Collodion varies to some degree. The price of silver and oil have a lot to do with it. Like the root of photography (Collodion), I consider blues music the root of music (at least American). Without blues, we wouldn't have much of the music we have today. Good stuff.

I am taking a Photography class, and it is because of the teacher that i am taking a look at your project "youtube video". I totally respect you! You are awesome and bringing history to life! I am sure the inventor of this is looking down on you and is very PROUD OF YOU. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU~!!!! Keep doing what you love to do. Just do not BURN yourself~!!

@gakinimechoka Thank you for the note and very kind words. I hope Archer is doing just that, I owe him a lot - it's a wonderful process. I'll try to stay safe, too. Thanks, again.

@gakinimechoka Thank you very much, you're too kind. I'm glad that you are taking a photo class and am happy that your teacher recommended my video to watch (please thank them for me). I hope you continue to pursue photography!
My very best,
Quinn

on that last photograph (the old man) how were you able to create that distressed border to the photograph?

@Xefeh That is part of the process (in this case development).
