Because the man does not update his page o' photos often enough. Anyway. Today's image incorporates some "d'aww" with some "huh" and a bit of photogeekery thanks to photographer Jody Ake. She uses the "wet collodion process, an historic photographic technique which involves using a large format camera and glass plates", and the end result is ( Read more... )

A girl I used to be friends with had a photo album of those dead people pictures. Her mom bought it at a flee market.

Very nice and old skool photo: reminds me of the photojournal by someone in National Geographic who went around the modern-day US backwoods taking tin-type photographs (a process about as old as wet collodion if not older) of the ranches and their ranchers.

I can haz politics filter? Queer leftiness is perfectly fine: I hear quite a bit of it from other flisties of mine.

...I could have sworn you were on that filter already. FAIL, me.
