Making Tintype Photographs...
Last Friday I posted a photograph from armed forces day last year at the Carlisle Army Heritage Center, these photographs come from the same event. Unfortunately I do not remember this mans name but he is from New Jersey and he travels to these events and makes tintype photographs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrotype. I spent some time with him as he explained his camera and the process involved to make the tintype images. Everything he does is the same as it would have been done in the 1800's, his camera and photography cart were all made by him. I am hoping he will be there again this year, it is a fantastic process and a true art.
