The Adventures of Giles & Zeiss

Tonight was spent just shooting, shooting, shooting till I was getting consistent results with one setup. My developer has been a trouble spot for me so I tweaked that into working well with this batch of collodion and temperature. When I don’t have models handy you get to see me. 

Ms. Odd and I have something of a wager going on on which photo of her will be best received, your like votes up or down. I think there’s a six pack at stake.
