Tintype Photographs
What IS a tintype?
Tintype is a photographic process from the mid-1800s. You coat a metal plate with collodion, dip it in silver nitrate to make it light-sensitive, expose it in the camera, and develop it right there on the spot — start to finish in front of you. The chemistry hasn't changed much since the day it was invented. Neither has the result.
What you walk away with is a one-of-a-kind photograph on metal that has never existed before and never will again. No digital file. No reprints. No version two. A hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind, priceless heirloom, blahblahblah...
It's really just a bad-ass photo.
