#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 https://20thcenturycamera.com/   Dave goes out of his way to shop locally where he can for his film and chemical supplies. RK Photographic is a long established high street retailer originally based in Potters bar, North London they recently relocated to Letchworth. https://www.thedarkroom.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR0N2nk7wCiS0zBWoLhGYFflKGw0iPn6n9TyN07r3B6RbabwrbqjJYsScX0   Kevin Lunham operates Wet Plate Supplies from Ramsey (down the road from Andrew) and is a brilliant place for all you may need for wet plate and your alternative photographic process. http://www.wetplatesupplies.com/?fbclid=IwAR3E7f82xQNxk6VWveNm7ww5UAKVqjwrszku72peWHUJAgSARpjVaUinddA   Process Supplies in London – Founded in 1928 PS are one of the oldest photographic supply companies in Great Britain and still run by the Willes family in the same Clerkenwell premises. https://www.processuk.net/   Dave Burnett – the guy that shot the 2012 Olympic Games on a Speed Graphic with an Aero Ektar lens and took the photographs that  led Dave into LF photography. https://www.davidburnett.com/?fbclid=IwAR2e1cDtTHMzQPA15mwwGG1M5zYWGHdotLb4VkAQPN0TiKYJ_LAi8PdvZlA   http://grahamcopekoga.com/?fbclid=IwAR2XHzGNnDtrW_JEUh7xia6BZyxTcMQTc88IihFD0BxJ1eFzOLAGjxrYh0A   Dollies Little Follies make accessories and home décor with very much a quirky twist – perfect for Dave as he brings his vision into reality.
