From a wet plate collodion glass negative.
I made this plate a couple weeks ago and never scanned it - for some reason I decided I didn't like it. Today, I'm not sure why I discarded it.

The elementary school in Bern, Idaho was built in 1921. It has been closed for a long time, was a museum for a while, but has been abandoned for many years. After 102 years the snow load was finally too much and it collapsed. I have heard that up to 15 buildings have come down in the valley this winter and there will likely be more.
The photo below was posted in 2017.
This old barn finally collapsed during a windstorm in Southern Alberta. It will probably get a match taken to it this winter. Another old building gone.

This barn was owned by Montain and Bettie Kunz who were two of the most beloved citizens of the Bear Lake Valley. Their barn was in Bern, Idaho on a farm with a wonderful view across the valley toward the Preuss Range of the Rocky Mountains. The barn went down under heavy snow soon after this photo was made in 2005, and the Kunz' both passed away in 2019 after 66 years of marriage. This photo was scanned from slide.

Like many of the collapsing structures up here, after the paint loses its grip on the wood clapboard siding, a mustard yellow lichen begins slowly growing on the surfaces. Neat color.
Behind this shattered doorway lies a realm where light dares not tread. The crumbled stones and splintered wood form a desperate blockade against unspeakable horrors lurking beyond. Each stone whispers tales of untold suffering, and the air itself is heavy with the weight of despair. These doors must remain closed, for they guard against a darkness so profound that it devours hope and sanity alike. The passage beyond is not merely a door but a threshold into the abyss.

I suppose you could think of this as a metaphor for whats happening to civilization right now.
Scan of a wet plate collodion negative on glass. Made with the Voigtlander Petzval lens, with a home-made waterhouse stop. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the f-stop is around f5.6 with the waterhouse stop in.
7 minutes exposure on Quinn's collodion for negatives, about 6 weeks old. (IE: great contrast)
Somebody (Robinson?) had some diggin's around here and had a small millsite. A dam held water until somebody showed up to run ore previously stamped. May have run a few weeks in a good year with rain and snow. Not much left here now, dam was intentionally holed, mill removed and the shack has fallen.
