Four storeys of clapboard and shingle, with the mill's own name still faintly painted across the wall.
There has been a mill at this spot on the Millstone River since the eighteenth century, and the building that stands there now grew by additions as the work changed. The lettering has weathered down to a shadow on the boards, and the loading door sits above the ground where wagons once pulled up.
Look closely at the sign: it reads backwards. This is a direct plate, a mirror of the scene, the way every tintype has been since the 1850s.
The plate was coated, exposed and developed on location within minutes, in a darkroom built into the back of a truck.
Photographed using the 19th-century wet plate collodion process, and reproduced here as a fine art giclée print that holds the tonal range and atmosphere of the original plate.
Available in multiple sizes, from a smaller print for a collection to a larger statement piece.
Location: Kingston Mill, Kingston, New Jersey
Original Photographic Process: Wet Plate Collodion
Print Process: Archival Giclée
Available Sizes: Multiple sizes
A building that has stood through five generations of photography, made on a plate from the first of them.
