"Dialogue with history" - brave project by photographer David Emitt Adams, which makes us think about the development of our civilization. A talented craftsman from Arizona creates amazing "Photos" on the bottom of cansusing the Wet-Plate Collodion technique.
We have already written about the use of cans as a material for creativity on the site Kulturologiya.ru. Not so long ago, we introduced our readers to the Can Men Series art project, in which banks become the faces of funny characters. Photographer David Adams went even further, he not only paints the bottom with funny faces, but recreates old photographs, applying them using a special Wet-Plate Collodion technique, invented in 1851. For about 30 years this method has been used to get positive when printing photographs, today the resourceful Arizon decided to "resurrect" him.
The title "Dialogue with History" very accurately reflects the essence of the project that David Adams is working on. He collects old cans (some dating back to 1970) scattered throughout the desert. Covered with rust, they are silent witnesses of the past, a real echo of the past. He then engraves images on them using the old-fashioned technique, infusing these historical artifacts with additional meaning.

Air in a tin can. Art project by photographer Kirill Rudenko
Leaving on vacation or on a business trip to another city or country, people always bring souvenirs with them, which make it possible for a long time not to lose the freshness and sharpness of impressions from the trip. As a rule, small trinkets become souvenirs, evoking certain associations with a place or event. But how often we regret that there is no opportunity to take with us the most important thing: a piece of air that breathed so easily and sweetly there, on the journey! It is this slight sadness-nostalgia
