"Glass Plate Images of Old Frederick," presented by David Maloney
Please join us at 7 pm on Wednesday, November 9, for a unique photography discussion with both a local and a historical twist!
David Maloney will share some favorite images from his collection of glass plate images of Old Frederick. Prior to his talk, Steve Greenberg will share with us how glass plate photography works.
David has scanned, restored, and shared many images from his collection so that they are available for future use and study. You can see his work, as well as others, by joining the Frederick Maryland Old Photos Facebook group. Use the hashtag #maloneyglassplates to see what he has shared so far. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1825462370952702
Included with this post is an image of men camping along the Monocacy River. It is so different from the way we would camp — and dress — today!
