Placerville weekend

A weekend in Placerville

I am having a great time with four of my photographer friends in Placerville, California. Kerik Kouklis kindly offered both his home and his family’s tolerance for four of us out-of-towners during a fun midwinter weekend. Bill Schwab, Ike Eisenlord, Matt Magruder and I all showed up on Kerik’s doorstep on Thursday evening. We spent a great time shooting wet-plate collodion tintypes on Friday. Kerik has a great selection of silly props, and everyone got a chance to take turns as both models and photographers.

Kerik explaining to Bill the basic parts of a camera - body, lens, etc.

The pace was exhausting. Occasionally we had to get up for beers.


Kerik: I'm not kidding Matt, just stick your head in the box and I promise there is a really good looking girl in there
