#53 Dave Shrimpton, Live Plate! Live Plate!

Simon, Andrew and Yevgeni venture out on their first LFPP outside broadcast. Unfortunately Erik couldn’t get a ticket across the Atlantic so we had to use a naked female shop dummy as an able replacement.

After two previous attempts we arrive at the wonderful imaginarium where Dave eats, sleeps and breathes creative photography.

For part 2 we are mostly in the darkroom where the magic is revealed and the Tintypes of Dave come out pretty darn well.

What a brilliant day we had and both of us are hooked.

Things we chatted about on the show:

Dave works closely with Jeff Perry who has helped him bring his photographic equipment vision to reality and Andrew will be using his 4x5 back and wetplate insert in pt 2
