Thanks not only for showing the finished product, but also for the backstory.

Thanks for reading and commenting! I know I mentioned it at the end of the article already, but I'm not done with them yet! I hope to do some other fun things with them. The problem is finding time. It would be perfection ... almost ... if every day had 72 hours in them!

Thanks for reading and commenting! It has been a long time for sure. I was planning on writing something up a year ago - that's how crazy/messed up life has been.

They can take digital files and make silver gelatin prints from them. They are very good and used by quite a few pro photographers.

Wow, that is quite the collection! I missed out on the original 1915 Cracker Jack Walter Johnson glass plate negative - that one hurt. I was really wanting it. But yeah, I suspect I can go even larger than 16x20 with these, though I may need some photoshop help as well. If I had unlimited wall space, I'd try to do a human sized one ... hmmmm *wheels in my head start turning

That's one of the greatest things I can hear after someone reads what I write, thank you!
