All 82 images were made on glass and metal plates on May 2, 2009 using the Wet Plate Collodion process.
They were made by artists and photographers from all over the world to honor Frederick Scott Archer, the inventor of the Wet Plate Collodion process, and to honor the process itself.

Inspiring stuff, and anyone interested in the wet plate process could do a lot worse than buy the Quinn Jacobson book `Chemical Pictures`. On buying it you also get access to videos demonstrating the individual parts of the process and more. I bought it recently and although it was pricey it was worth every penny, and Quinn himself has been very helpful and encouraging.

I heard about the technology. Indeed, cool! Few photographers possess the technique.

This book -- never mind the obvious worthiness of the cause -- is a fitting tribute to Frederick Scott Archer.
