Visual Sundae is a collection of top drawer art and design,
an assemblage of interesting ideas. It's a display of creators ranging
from amateur to accomplished, a whole spectrum kind of thing.

Opinions are fine, but who really cares what I think? If it is posted,
it means I like it. Enough said! It's all about letting the work of others speak for itself.

Take a look around.

Visual Sundae claims NO ownership or copyright on any of the images posted here unless otherwise stated. I do my best to credit all creators and sources — if you are the owner of a specific image/s and would like it edited or removed, please contact me.

"One of my favorite weekend browses, visualsundae is the work of Michael Nunweiler, a designer who is cataloguing and exploring the design and designers that intrigue him. What’s best about the site is that rather than simply post a stream of random images, Nunweiler dives deep into the design and ethos of the artists, offering up lots of detailed views and insight into not only the work, but the process as well. Bookmark it." — Joshua Topolsky (editor-in-chief of The Verge)

Wet plate collodion images (ambrotypes) by Fred Fraser

“Wet plate photos are created on glass sheets of varying sizes but for portrait work the sizes are most frequently 5x7 or 8x10 inches.

Using a combination of chemicals in the darkroom each plate is made light sensitive minutes before the exposure is made in the camera and then returned to the darkroom immediately after exposure for development — the light sensitive emulsion created in the darkroom must stay wet during the entire procedure, hence the name “wet plate” photography.

Part of the charm of the wet plate look is the inherent unpredictability of the process. The way in which the various chemical treatments flow across the glass plate in the darkroom create a texture and variation in the tonality of the image. The effect is not repeatable from plate to plate giving each photograph a uniqueness that is not available from any other photographic process.

The photo is visible for a preview within 10 minutes of the exposure but takes approximately a week before the emulsion has cured and the finishing touches can be applied to the glass plate. Print (paper) copies can be made, but the decision to make print copies must be made before the plate is finished and delivered.” — Fred Fraser
