Photograps Raymond Meeks

Hello, does anybody know what kind of technique Raymond Meeks use to

make his photo's, his website is http://www.raymondmeeks.com/,

regards Jelke

Ellis, thank you for your reaction, this was Raymond Meeks answer;

Jelke,

In many ways, it's more than technique, but in the end,

I suppose technique is what is sometimes desired.

Unfortunately, there's too much to try to describe or would

want to since we each need to find our way.

Thank you for your kind feedback which, I see, has travelled the Atlantic and

then this country and yours.

Regards,

Ray

Whether he performs the wet-plate step in the darkroom or in the camera, who knows, but I would do the colloidon stuff in the darkroom.

Further searches indicate that gelatin-chloride prints are probably Centennial POP. I assume he works from enlarged negatives, not with in-camera originals -- none of MY 8x10 lenses could freeze a luge on film with their whopping 1/50 or 1/125 top speeds.
