Studio Visit with Keliy Anderson-Staley

I visited Keliy Anderson-Staley's Studio a couple of weeks back, after her Conversation ran. I more or less invited myself over because I was so curious about her set-up. In college, I took some non-silver classes but never learned any of the wet plate processes. Keliy generously opened up her studio and invited me over for a collodion tintypes shoot.
