ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/strong>Photographer David Norbut<\/strong> documents a behind the scenes look at his current series \"Into the Wilderness of the Human Spirit<\/strong><\/em>\". Taking portraits from the Hipstamatic app on an iPhone 5 and making prints using the Salt Print Process from the 1800's.<\/p>\n

The salted paper process was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot<\/strong>, known as The Father of Modern Photography, in 1833 while he was on his honey moon. He was the first to make a silver image on paper. On his first attempts paper coated with a silver nitrate solution and exposed to light only gave a faint metallic silver image. He later discovered that by first applying salt to the paper and then coating it with the silver nitrate solution he could get a much stronger image. This is basically the same way that we make salt prints today.<\/p>\n

The Series will be on display August 2nd at the Chris White Gallery<\/strong> in Wilmington, DE. For more info, contact\u00a0www.dnorphoto.com<\/a><\/p>\n
