SIZE MATTERS, reportedly 1873 but apparel seems more recent. How many burros do you need for your camera gear? William Henry Jackson had up to five men carry eq...uipment on burros. Jackson photographed his assistant in Yosemite. Earlier with the Hayden Expedition of 1871, Jackson captured views that helped convince congress to create the USA's first national park, Yellowstone. The weight of the glass plate negatives and portable darkroom limited the number of captures in remote locations. Heavy glass plates had to be coated, exposed, and developed before the noxious, wet collodion emulsion dried. Exposure times were fractions of a minute, not fractions of a second, and were estimated without light meters. Preparing, exposing, developing, fixing, washing then drying a single image might take over an hour.
