I had the pleasure of meeting Jenny Sampson at Photolucida last April. She brought a stellar portfolio of wet plate collodion tintype portraits of skateboarders–the process a perfect reflection of the gritty street activity that draws in interesting community of athletes. Jenny also shared that she was releasing a monograph of Skaters: Tintype Portraits of West Coast Skateboarders, through Daylight Books, coming out this Fall. The book has just been made available and it reflects her commitment to the skater community by using a large format camera and portable darkroom at skate parks in California, Oregon and Washington. The book includes a foreword by Bret Anthony Johnston and essay by Joel Rice.
