There are some very beautiful ambrotypes at the Photo-eye online gallery
(www.photoeye.com). I'm not sure what an ambrotype is. The artist's
statement says that it's a wet plate process. I saw an ambrotype once in a
museum. I think it was an Edward Curtis photograph. What exactly is an
ambrotype?
Anyway these photographs by Raymond Meeks are portraits of athletes who came
to the winter olympics in 2002 I think. They are interesting to look at in
light of our discussion about portraiture in general and Disfarmer in
particular.
