For the past several years I've done small wet-plate photos to use as Christmas cards for friends and family.

It is peculiar to see more "modern" materials, like those reflective tape gift bows,
in such a convincingly aged photo!
You used to have to be a half-engineer, half-chemist to do photography back then.
Now you need to be a half-programmer, half-copyright lawyer.
I really like the 'half-programmer, half-copyright lawyer' thing, I'm gonna steal it.
An e-book is convenient, but there's nothing like licking your finger to turn a page.
Flattered to have come up with something steal-worthy!
one of the first I , my parents too angel hair (old time fiberglass insulation) and ran it from the fireplace to the Christmas tree, telling us Santa's beard was shedding. we swallowed it hook line and sinker...
