Beautiful collodion prints

When I was in Ballarat I made a special trip to a venue to see Jeanne Wells' collodion prints. Alas the shop was shut unexpectedly.

But I have found them on her website, so fortunately I can now view them at my leisure.

I think they are extremely beautiful

What do you think?

She also has an impresive blog with a myriad if interesting links.

On one link I found this excellent description of the different types of photographic prints. A great summary.

Ballarat PhotographyBiennale

Went up to Ballarat to see the exhibitions associated with the Biennale.
There were some stand out favourites.
Gypsy Pennefeather's hand painted photographs were very wonderful. Beautifully executed.

An interesting retrospective called Brian Duffy - the Man Who Shot the Sixties at the Ballarat Art Gallery. Brian Duffy, was a contemporary of David Bailey and Terence Donovan.

Duffy was one of the innovators of 'documentary' fashion photography, revolutionising fashion imagery and the fashion industry of the late 50s and 60s.
A documentary about Duffy complemented the works - some iconic images of the era including the famous David Bowie, and many other images of celebrities such as Michael Caine, the Beatles etc.
