Devin Abner

Just discovered a humbling brief portrait on Devin Abner. It’s six minutes long, has plenty of skating and discusses his challenging childhood. Despite being homeless for a year, Devin pushed through the years on his skateboard.

It’s not every day you get a skate video like this.

The Most Toxic Skateboard Photos

Wet Plate Photography

You have 10 minutes to coat the glass, wait for the solution to gel, place the plate in another solution, place the glass in the camera, expose the photo while still wet, and develop the photo in another solution. Ready? Go!

Wet plate photography has been around since 1851. But because of the danger and evolution in photo processes, wet plate photography lost almost all of its popularity until fairly recently. One such photographer, Ian Ruhter converted a truck into a mobile dark room and camera.

He recently published photos of Levi Brown using the wet plate process. Ian also published an absolutely incredible video of his latest project. I highly encourage you to check it out below.
