Taken in a "Dorian Gray" moment of vanity. This counts as both my yearbook photo and my senior photo.

Collodion, Silver Nitrate, and Potassium Cyanide credit goes to the awesome wet-plate photographer, Steve Wilson.

(I was given permission to submit this because I was the model. Also, I was present for the developing process.)

He's the nicest guy in the world. He actually gave me these plates; ordinarily, a photographer would charge about $100 for them.

That's really interesting. I didn't know wet-plate photography was still practiced today. That's awesome that you got to take part!
