Take a look at these extraordinary images.

"Can you walk us through the process for making Tintype images?
‘It’s a convoluted, long, messy, dangerous process that is so complex that I have to often refer to a 40 page instruction book, especially when mixing the chemicals. I do tintypes the same way, using the same chemicals, as was done in the late 1800s. I begin with a metal plate that is black on one side (this is the side that will have the emulsion)."
