Dakota Stage, Ltd. has been putting on a wonderful exhibit of classical works of art brought to life with human form.  I was asked to be a guest artist this year.   Our goal was to capture the exhibitions in the wet plate collodion process and to also demonstrate the making of a wet plate to the visitors.  We had no idea how this would work or what the resulting plates would look like. I was able to capture 9 of the 18 pieces and you can see them below.
