I am preparing to record episode 2 for the Calotype Chronicles show. In episode 1, I provided an overview of the chemistry behind the calotype paper negative process. In this second episode, we dive deeper into the calotype process, tracing its innovations and key milestones from the 1840s through the 1870s. We then shift focus to the core of this episode: an exploration of the life and legacy of Col. Alexander Greenlaw, highlighting his remarkable contributions and history with calotype paper negatives.
Join me as we uncover the fascinating story of Greenlaw’s pioneering work and its impact on the evolution of photography.
In the third episode, we go deep into Greenlaw’s calotype chemistry and workflow where I explain every detail about the chemistry, how it works, and how all the pieces fit together to make the 19th-century calotype paper negative from scratch using raw materials.
If you would like to join me live when I record the show, send me an email to tim@timlaytonfineart.com and let me know that you would like to join me. I will find a time that works for everyone and we will record the show and you will have the unique opportunity to ask questions and discuss everything with me and the other participants.
