Ambrotypes Good And Bad, Self-Portraits?

Recent blackened Ambros I brought to work tonight, failures and successes alike, BUT ALL FUN! There is great joy in looking at them and then imagining what MIGHT BE. I like to dream of images, this sort of thing helps the process. 

 

Got to figure out wet plate portraits, people photography is what I prefer. That is where the magic could be. Hopefully can do some portraits in the studio. Might have to go self-portrait mode for a while.

 

Like the brown tones best in this pic!
