Arizona-based photographer Bob Emitt Adams uses a unique, 19th-century procedure to create specific pictures on the bottom of tin cans. The project, eligible Discussions with History, blogs about the last and present of digital cameras as it is applicable to the desert scenery of the American Western. Adams gathers removed cans, some going back to the Nineteen seventies, that have been spread across the desert. The things, corroded and corroded with the proof of light and time, serve as a relic of our lifestyle and a significant tie to our previous.
He then makes pictures on their area with an old designed digital cameras technique, called wet-plate collodion. The labor-intensive procedure is a negative picture on the surface of the metal. The specialist says
"The result is an object that has history as an artifact and an image that ties it to its location. These cans are the relics of the advancement of our culture, and become sculptural support to what they have witnessed."
