Tintype in the wild

The younger sibling of WetPlate photography, Dry plate photography was born in 1871 and soon took the world by storm allowing photographers to make images in places that they couldn’t get a Wetplate photography setup. This is how the World was first documented. All of my nature images are originals, Plates poured by hand, taken in the field and hand developed. I do not scan these images or create duplicates they are intended to be seen in person (next best thing to being there yourself).
