Hello all, My wife is part of the above art show and we are one of five photographers. According to the brochures, she will be the only one with ambrotypes, albumen prints.

Ray, that is funny. Same thing happened to me years ago, not wetplate but house work. I was moving glass around, stuff for window panes on old places where you have to caulk/putty the panes.
