When male criminals are given the keys to power!

From the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita…

"To impress him, he takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

Wonderful evening with my Son and meeting his charming partner for the very first time, the conversation switched over dinner to the fact that Dad does these “Wet Plate Collodion” photos…

A late impromptu shoot took place and we created two very special plates.
