Robb Kendrick Mummies
These are tintypes made with collodion and then the emulsion is manipulated while the varnish is being heated. Robb lives in Guanajuato and is making a book. Chris McCaw printed the Platinum prints for the book.

Vintage Kodak Camera
Decided to just take a shot instead of purchasing. What a novel idea! I definitely don't need to add to my collections at the moment.
Santos Mannequin with Cage
One of the booths I always look for at the Alemeda Antique Fair. This one is still there. I think it is priced at $1750. At least I had a decent camera this time. The guy who runs the booth isn't too friendly.

Catharina Marlowe at Robert Tat Gallery
These are beautiful. Below is a description of her process. Robert Tat said that she is local (Santa Cruz) and belongs to a group of photographers working in alternative processes.
She describes this unusual process as: " A color pigment positive and a black & white negative are made on the computer. The positive image is printed with archival inks on watercolor paper and the black & white negative is printed on transparent material; both are identical in size since they are printed from the same file. Then the pigment print is coated with a layer of platinum and exposed to the negative using the platinum printing process. Teh result is a platinum print with subdued, subtle colors and rich textures."
Sunburn by Chris McCaw
Today we went to the Togonon Gallery
at 77 Geary to check out Chris McCaw's Sunburn series. These are one of kind images made from long exposures. They are very interesting and beautiful in their destruction.
I talked to the Associate Gallery Director about getting Chris to do a talk and I'll probably get in contact to see if we can also do a studio visit.
