The Marks of Man

on looking looking for the correct spelling of "The Wet Plate Collodion Process", I came across this. Enjoy.

http://www.johnmaillard.com/highb/hband.html Put up my new high-bandwidth web site tonight. Its a flash site that needs Euro connections to work well, not unfortunately available here in New Zealand. One day we will get there. I am quite pleased with my Nerdynus, but I see this as the only way to promote my work, as we have not a penny or a cent to rub together. I am just pleased I dont have to buy film anymore. No more film makes photography at last a true art to be enjoyed by all. A sort of photographic Socialism, I am sure this was Kodak's original intention. I am frankly pleased to see the end of all those film photo money snobs....AHHH being replaced by digital snobs, and the "Photography is not real anymore, fanatics". I am just glad we are not making a transition from Wet Collodion to gelatin glass plates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyf8fQOdvDs

I have been looking for a scrolling gallery for a long time, and had no luck. So I got my nerds hat out and made my own. The scroller scrolls, of course. The gallery loads JPG's for the main images and thumbs for the thumbs. To use the gallery requires no flash skills. You just rename the files you want the gallery to load. It even has a fade transition to make the jpg load look a bit better. I am working on the timer class to see if I can get it to auto load images and run the images without clicking on the thumbs. Any help gratefully received. If any one wants a copy drop me a line. You can see the scroller at:- http://www.johnmaillard.com
