The new larger truck magnets for the ambrotype project, look nice. Also got a stamp.
I will place the magnets on the BEAST 1 ton or Fanny the motorhome. Hope it gives me a more official look when dealing with security, police and the general public.

Will Shoot 11x14 and maybe 14x14 Ambrotypes next week off work! Having THE BEAST this year to pull the trailer, should allow me to make many more images.
Got an image on my first try this season using last years collodion mix. 45 seconds f64, 120mm lens on my 8x10 Deardorff. A promising stat to the season!
Hooked Freddy the darkroom trailer to THE BEAST (1 ton F350 Ford flatbed truck) for the first time. She pulls beautifully. I might need to change out the 6 pin truck trailer connector for a 7 pin. I am currently using an adapter, not sure that is the best solution. Will try to do an 8x10 dyptch today of a school park.
First shoot of the season!
Update* I found that driving, backing up and connecting the
trailer to the hitch is way easier with the 1 ton versus the motorhome. I
have been told a long vehicle with a short trailer is the most
difficult to back up (like the motorhome trailer set up I use). I found
today driving the 1 ton that I could hook up the trailer by myself and
that driving was much easier, maybe 1/2 as hard.
My interview with Tomasz the editor of FRAMES magazine was postponed today. Tomasz got called in to speak at a college he teaches at n Switzerland. We will try to reschedule in two weeks.
This is maybe for the best. I have been fighting a bad cough and hoarse voice all week. I should be in better voice, in 2 weeks time. These internet vids last forever, best to be understood!
Update* Rescheduled for May 1.
Put the project magnets on THE BEAST wet plate truck. Looks OK, a bit small. I like the quality, will order some bigger ones. The hope is the signs will help spread the word and distract visitors from interrupting me as I shoot.
