Who remembers? Wet plate!
Nostalgic or not, there is a unique, mysterious charm in the some of the oldest images known to photographers such as "The black Art" or "Wet plate collodion photography".
Have a look and enjoy: - - - LINK - - - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdbx7zDfvwg

I doubt there are many photographers alive who have used the wet colloidal process. It's not very user friendly (photos had to be developed almost immediately) & IIRC other processes had pretty much replaced it entirely by 1900. Now I better shut up & follow the link. (Edit) Nice video. His results are certainly better than the family photos in our archive from this process. I suspect our family ones have continued to develop slowly over the years as the whites tend to be pretty dark now. - I think some show oxidation issues too but perhaps that was just the daguerreotypes...
