Bonus: Me before wetshaving (w/my nephew)

How'd you guys all manage to get wives so far out of your league?



Just kidding.  I have no clue why my wife is with me either.

My neighbor, who uses cameras and lens that can be more than 100 years old, makes daguerreotype, tintype, and wet plate photographs.  He will very often use me as a subject when he plans on selling a lens to show the lens's clarity.

What a wonderful photograph, Freddy!

I wish I had a neighbor like that, I would take him/her everywhere with us so that my wife can have all the pictures she wants.

Thank you both, gentlemen.  Anton has some amazing old equipment.  Most of the photographs are erased so the various photographic plates can be reused.  Before he does that, however, he e-mails a photo to me taken with his iPhone.  Trust me, the originals look better.  I love the fact that what you see here was taken with equipment that dates from the 1800s.  I believe one of the lenses he used, and it might have been for this photo, pre-dates the American Civil War.  Simply amazing!

That is so fascinating. You wonder what kinds of images that equipment has captured throughout time.
