Here is one of the 8×10 tintypes that I did last Friday. Finger prints galore, and a few pour marks from the developer. I can easily palm a 5×7 plate during the colloidian pour, and drain step, but I need a bit more practice with the 8x10s. All in all though, I am pleased with how the day went, and am looking forward to this Coming Friday for another wet plate session.
Also, more chemistry has arrived!

Born, and raised in New England, and living the last thirty years in midcoast Maine, I took a job as Shipkeeper aboard the Wavertree at South Street Seaport Museum in the Winter of 2016/17. On my off days I find myself exploring the City with a camera at hand. At the moment I am shooting with a Mamiya RB67, but recently acquired an 8x10 Kodak Master View, with the hopes of doing some wet plate portrait work. View more posts
