AMBROTOS KANATA is a very expensive project. Photographing Canada on glass cost lots of doe!! To help save on costs I have to work as cheaply as I can manage without sacrificing the quality of the Ambrotypes.
Today was a day where I did some scavenging and some repairs. On the scavenging side of things I took a bunch of broken glass and recut it to smaller usable sizes. So broken 11x14,14x14 and 24x24 inch glass became 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 inch plates. On the repair thingy, I fixed (broken bottom) and painted a damaged 20x24 inch silver tank and also repaired a broken 4x5/8x10 inch drying rack.
I should be able to reuse everything this coming shooting season. Money saved!
Note* The propane tank trailer attachment assembly arrives tomorrow. Hopefully I can get everything up and running soon. If I do, I will be one step closer to making Ambrotypes.!! I am excited to get back at!! Creating beauty will be a relief (no bad dreams) after the recent emotionally difficult images UNDER THE FREEWAY.
