    happy halloween, powerhouse museum :-)

    I sent an email using your website's contact form earlier today, because I've so thoroughly enjoyed browsing around the photos, and am interested in maybe using the images in various 'Wikimedia Foundation' projects like Wikipedia :-)

    hope it gets through ok, and thanks heaps regardless for the simply stunning imagery!

    Glass plates... those were the good ol' days. All this talk about how Film is becoming a lost art form. Whatever happened to the art of the glass plate negative?
