Gerry Collodion Ripening Fast

I mixed up some fresh Gerry Collodion yesterday.

from Facebook....

The Gerry Collodion (or whatever it’s original name is) changed color and passed the QQC collodion in darkness, in only 1 day. GC 24 hours old, QQC about 3 days old. The iodide salts are really working! No added ether, wonder if that makes a difference. Last year GC took a long time to turn red. Will follow its progress this year.

Gerry Collodion about 23 hours later, has turned from yellow to orange.

Mom Shoot!

11x14 and 14x14 Ambrotype portraits of mom today, aged 90.   Will try 2 at a time, with an elevator trip and walk down to the darkroom trail...
