We realized that if we wanted to start a mass production of photo plates, we needed to start the mass production of the glass plates holders as well. Here are the links to the holders projects according to the sizes:

Short documentary of photographer Nick Brandreth during his final weeks of shooting for his body of work: Upstate.  This body of work, shot with his own handmade 4x5 gelatin dry plates, explores the vast and varied landscapes of New York State on the eve of a four year moratorium on fracking.

It was on this day in 1888, in Rochester, New York, that George Eastman received a patent for his new, easy-to-use camera, the Kodak. Eastman began to study photography in 1877 while working in a Rochester bank. In 1880, he perfected a process for making "dry plates" and took his first photograph: a view of the Charles P. Ham building, across the street from his window.

He left the bank and founded the Eastman Dry Plate Company. Four years later, he devised a paper-backed film, which he marketed in roll form. In 1888, he introduced an inexpensive, simple camera he named, for no reason except it was easy to remember, the Kodak. "You push the button," the ads promised. "We do the rest."

Here are some examples off the Glass Plate Negatives bestowed on me to lovingly restore, i'm wondering how difficult it might be to track down the people in the images, perhaps take them to the location that some of the boxes have written or contact local history groups or councils, I know that these exist because my dad loves them!  Someone might recognise something.  It's a long shot, but I think it's worth a shot.  I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with them, but I might photoshop them into some sort of distortion, as a result of reading back issues of EyeMagazine today which is endless with macabre, distorted imagery.  I will update later with any progress / test style prints I get.
