2012 - anyone want to plan something? Central Texas or Coastal Bend?

[Katie]

I'm in La Grange - squat in the middle of the Austin-Houston-San Antonio area, but also have a place in Rockport (30 min from Corpus). Anybody want to try a Spring meetup in either area? Rather than a photo shoot; maybe we could do a darkroom tour? I am VERY interested to see others darkrooms and/or work processes. Anyone?

If I were still living in Manor I'd say lets do 6th St. any time you choose. However, I'm up here in the nordlund and won't be back down there for a long time. I'd love to shoot around Smithville though, very interresting area.

[Katie]

Smithville is my backyard!

Let me know when you are coming!

Anyone else?

We should be on each other's contact lists. I get down to Port Aransas occasionally so my soul can breath some salt air. I shoot and print film and am learning wet-plate. Oh, and I make my own pinhole cameras, 4x5 to 32x40, thus far. Today shooting a Speed Graphic with a Petzval lens for its nose, on the Mississippi gulf coast. Having all sorts of fun.

Hi Judy ... I am seriously contemplating getting into wet plate. I am currently trying to replicate the look a bit using deep blue filters on regular film. At this moment, I have two blogs of colliodion artists that I'm enamored with. I might want to learn some of your tricks!
