Imagine my surprise when I found an image of me next to John Coffer. Yes, I was there and yes, Katie took the image for us. The Hand Magazine features art works made by hand and are reproducible. Adam Finkelston & James Meara are the originators of this wonderful contribution to the world of images. I’ve been fortunate to have had some images published in their magazine.
The image of John and me was taken at the 2021 Tintype Jamboree in upstate New York.  
Each year many “wet heads” (a term used for wet plate practitioners) assemble in Dundee NY at Camp Tintype to exchange ideas, solutions and inventions in the world of collodion. This year I was fortunate to meet up with April Williamson, a graduate of our program at SFCC.
The Hand Magazine is a wonderful source of ideas and a way of keeping track of what is going on out there in the alternative world. I strongly recommend it to you. If you look at the bottom of the image you will see a link to John’s website. It is full of all sorts of wonderful information, videos etc.
