Sweating torrents during todays last shoot at the #AmeliasburghLibrary after four Wednesdays feeling a little melancholy. 5 more great plates though. The chemistry was making some aesthetic decisions for me today - a good sunning needed 👌 #Wetplate #tintype Al Purdy AFA

The Al Purdy AFA is flying! Repairs to the foundation (maybe don't build on a floodplain next time, Al?) are underway. It will be back on the ground soon enough, and the call for applications for 2025/26 residencies is now open: alpurdy.ca/residency/
