Calvin Grinnell “Running Elk” clearing in the fixer of the historic wet plate collodion process

It is always a fantastic day when Calvin Grinnell “Running Elk”, Mandan / Hidatsa / Arikara visits the studio. He is the elder who gave me my name “Shadow Catcher” Maa’ishda tehxixi Agu’agshi in Hidatsa. I am forever in his debt.
