I see many plates from Kosovo in this area of the city, always from the same company (Axhari Tours), there's probably a regular line from Kosovo to Geneva!
Distance from home: 1855 km.
I'm getting a more smooth surface on the plates now, but I still have to deal with too many small pinholes and some bubbles in the emulsion..
The contrast becomes very high on them, I will try a different developer the next time.
This one is scanned directly from the glass plate with some contrast correction and the toning is added in Photoshop. Everything else is in-camera.
This is fun to do :-)

This plate was on display in the room I stayed in at a ryokan in Yugawara, Shizuoka, Japan. The kind of thing that would surely get stolen from any other hotel room in just about any other country in the world.
5 Taco Plate
Choose any five tacos: I chose 1 taco cabeza (head meat), 1 taco lengua (tongue), 1 taco tripa (tripe), and 2 tacos buche. ($7, each taco $1.50-$1.75).
Notes: You can order these puppies either "Mexican" style (with cilantro and onions) or "American" style (with lettuce, tomato and cheese). I ordered these Mexican style. Double corn tortilla wraps were moist and fresh (made next door, literally).
By far, my favorite were the cabeza and the lengua tacos. The head meat was unbelievably soft and moist - totally melted away in my mouth. The tongue, as well, had been braised until butter soft - I've never had tongue that soft before.
The tripe wasn't what I expected. I had expected honeycomb tripe braised very soft. Instead, the tripe, which was pork intestines, were deep-fried. It was over-fried and had gone jerky-tough.
The buche, which my friend thought was pork cheek jowl meat, was in fact (after I did a little investigation) pork stomach. It was very cartilaginous - the finely diced cubes almost tasted like pig ears - some soft and pliable, other pieces crisp and rubbery. In retrospect, m,ost of my disappointment at the time was because it wasn't what I thought it was, which was cheek meat, which would have been very much like the head meat - melt-away soft.

After 2 test plates and still getting ridiculous fog, I figured the copper developer is just too strong so I dumped it and made new stuff from some B&S concentrate I brought with me. Unfortunately that didn't help either...
The Plate-billed Mountain Toucan (Andigena laminirostris) is restricted to the Chocó EBA 041 (BirdLife 2003). This species is habitually found on subtropical cloud forest in the south-western part of Colombia and the northwestern part of Ecuador (Hilty & Brown 1986, Ridgely & Greenfield 2001).
The genus Andigena (mountain-toucans) comprises
only four species confined to the northern Andes of
South America (Fjeldså & Krabbe 1990). In general, the
species replace each other latitudinally, with the greatest
concentration found in Colombia, Ecuador and Perú
(with three species in each country, Hilty & Brown
1986, Ridgely & Greenfield 2001, Schulenberg et al
2007). These toucans are present in narrowly restricted
ranges and therefore have been included in different
Endemic Bird Areas (EBA´s, see BirdLife International
& Conservation International 2005).

Goniochromatype (a variant of orotone technique)
Changing color glass plate made with the use of goniochromatic pigments. (in other words, which have the ability to change color depending on the angle of view and the incidence of light). It is finally a variant of the orotone process that has existed for a long time, but instead of a golden paint, I use special pigment mixtures that I apply to a positive image on glass. I already published other posts on this subject to present this variant of the historical process that is the orotone, you will find all this on my FB page.
Plates are made from scraps of fabric and fibres, corrugated cardboard, and paper string (from paper carrier bag handles) untwisted and glued flat.
