MIQUEL SALOM. ICTUM OLIM III: AMBROTYPES AND TINTYPES
07/01/15 - 09/11/15

This was a special exhibition in conjunction with the OAS, on view at AMA F Street Gallery 1889 F Street, NW, Washington DC 20006
The exhibition provides an opportunity to observe the purity of pioneering photography techniques.
The exhibited works result from decades of applied photographic research and visits to the United States to observe, first-hand, original works by photography pioneers. Selected portraits and landscapes use wet collodion, an early form of photographic emulsion. A glass plate or sensitized metal is exposed directly to sunlight with a chemical solution that enables rapid production of unrepeatable images, a procedure invented by Frederick Scott Archer in 1856 with the tintype patent.
