Wet Plate Photography with Dave Wilson and Rob Gibson
About this episode
This old Patreon episode is brought to you for free and without commercial interruption by our wonderful Patrons. They want you to learn so badly, that they said to me "hey, Matt. Why don't you release old Patreon episodes for free so all of your listeners can be as smart as we are?" To which I say, "Well, dear Patron, you aren't smart from our shows. You were smart to begin with, as evidenced by your Patronage." But I digress. Please consider becoming a Patron so a) we can stop asking for your support, b) so we can keep doing these shows and c) so we can expand to all forms of media, as per our plan. Click here to join the movement today!
Rob Gibson is a wet plate photographer known for once having had a studio here in Gettysburg, taking wet plates on dozens of historical films and riding around town on an old Harley Davidson with a darkroom for a sidecar. We sat down with Rob at Dave Wilson's Victorian Photography Studio to discuss Rob's career and the science behind photography. Oh, and pizza!
Be sure to schedule a shoot with Rob or Dave next time you're in Gettysburg.
