"The North Dakotan" with Josh Duhamel captured for the first time in the historic wet plate collodion process of silver on glass. Josh is very proud of being from North Dakota and it was an honor to finally be able to immortalize his likeness in the process I hold so dear. I want to thank my good friend Ryan Stander for his assistance today behind the scenes. I am grateful to the Taube Museum of Art for their generous hospitality. This would not have been possible without Sara Coleman at North Dakota Tourism who helped me arrange this shoot. Carl Zeiss Tessar 300mm lens, f4.5, 8 seconds of exposure, 8x10" black glass ambrotype, continuous light and natural light at the Taube Museum of Art in Minot, Plate 4878, taken on 11-20-2023 by Shane Balkowitsch, Nostalgic Glass Wet Plate Studio, Bismarck, North Dakota.
