Saturday, Oct. 19th, Project Barbatype taught a wet-plate workshop at the Ellen Noel Art Museum in Odessa. We donned goggles and gloves and made new portraits, a tintype party.

Business Section, Odessa, TX, 2019
How does a change show itself? I went to the site of a photograph made in 1926 showing early-model automobiles, storefronts, and telephone poles along an unpaved way. For nine decades, everything morphed into a city except for the drugstore at the corner of Second and Grant.

Albuquerque Photowalk
I met up with Amarillo’s camera club to enjoy a weekend retreat in Albuquerque. I saw a welcome change of scenery and enjoyed the Bonito Valley at Lincoln before turning north at Socorro to reach the city. I met with friends and stayed at a bread and breakfast. My room provided solitude, and on Saturday, we saw a mountain sunrise, explored downtown, and concluded at a scenic overlook.

Thanks Amarillo
On Thursday, I gave a presentation on 8x10 photography and shared my Navasota adventures at Panhandle Shutterbugs. It was a chance to answer questions and show the equipment. I had a great time.
