Joni Sternbach’s surfers

Joni Sternbach's photos "engage traditions of landscape, seascape, and architectural photography. Working with a large-format camera and historic process (wet-plate collodion), [she has] concentrated on locations that are close to or directly on the water. At this juncture between land and sea, [she] explore subject matter in a constant state of transition."

I just saw some of her Surfers series at the NY photo festival. It was great to see such modern portraits done with such an old techinque. It really made me want to get closer to the photos and helped me feel the work that went into them.
