1994 - collodion glass negative contact to albumen paper taken at Napa, California. By Will Dunniway. The group is of the 14th Tennessee Infantry Company B. Blake Bufford in foreground and Bobby Lloyd Frazer in background.
This image was inspired by Blake Bufford one morning at Napa. I was cooking breakfast around my tent fly when Blake asked if I had time to do this image he had in his mind. I told him I had 30 minutes to spare and lets do it. We gathered the boys and I arraigned them and made the collodion glass negative you all now see. It all happened in less than 30 minutes and it came up looking as true as rain.
