Shane Balkowitsch has completely devoted himself to mastering the historic wet plate photographic process. His goal is to capture the “human condition” through his form of image making. This process is one of the earliest forms of photography, dating back to 1848-51. This exhibition will consist of wet plate photographs of Northern Plains Native Americans.
Shane is a self-taught large format photographer from Bismark, North Dakota. He is one of fewer than 1,000 wet plate collodion artists practicing around the world.  His works are held in prestigious institutions, including the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the Smithsonian Institution.

This exhibition benefits the American Indian College Fund.
