The Foursquare Men's Vise is ready to be your pipe-hiking pal. Just look at the little guy—his puppy-dog eyes are saying 'I was hiding under your porch because I love you.' If the Vise could talk, it would tell you all about it's waterproof breathable two-layer Microshield fabric and its gobs of pocket space for carrying the tools of your trade. But all it can do is slobber and wag its tail. So why don't you adopt the little fella so we don't have to execute him.

Bottom Line: Remember to have your Vise spayed or neutered.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Cameron Pierce - Wet Plate Project

By: Backcountry.com Vendor Rep
October 27, 2011

“THE WET PLATE PROJECT” is a first ever, unique approach to snowboard and action photography shot by experimental lifestyle and accomplished snowboard photographer Ian Ruhter. The Foursquare Team along with Ian set out to shoot snowboarding in an entirely new way, through one of the oldest photo processes ever developed, Wet Plate Photography.

This process - also called collodion - combines dangerous chemicals and developing systems (using an 8 x by 10 Deardorff camera) to create gritty, detailed metallic images on glass, an experimental and difficult departure from modern photography. Using this process, glass plates are coated with collodion liquid, allowed to set, then sensitized in a bath of silver nitrate, and finally exposed for a few seconds, or up to several minutes, before being immersed in a bath of potassium cyanide to develop. The challenge: Ruhter needed to shorten the exposure time significantly to capture fast motion under intensely bright lights. (Note: The only other person who successfully did this was Edward Muybridge, who photographed a man riding a galloping horse in 1878).
