Old Photographic Process

As we get into a new generation, we leave behind things and we take new ones. Photography has evolved immensely since its very days, just as every product/electronic that we have today. Technology makes things easier and quicker for us to use and learn, it’s just like cooking, today we have hundreds of already made food where in matter of seconds or minutes is ready for us to eat. However, we lost the beauty and passion of cooking with our own hands just like our grandmas used to do. It’s the same with photography, today we just push a button to take a photograph  we import them to the computer and we print them in a matter of minutes. It’s such an easy process of getting a photograph today. And I think that photographers bringing the wet-plate collodion format is a great idea to interact with the past and feel the beauty of creating photos from scratch, making them yourself with your own hands. I think that what technology offers us is magnificent but at the same time it is keeping us away from the nature of things, the nature of creating. Moreover, you get a different feel and finish that it is hard to get from a digital camera, but what is priceless is just the photographic experience.
