I just spent the last two and a half hours uploading my pictures from the weekend (which included a trip to Ft. Meigs for a timeline event and Mike's 21st birthday) and now I only have about five minutes before I have to get ready for work.

I suppose I'll just wait and post about it all once I'm home tonight.

Until then, here's a scan of something slightly older but still very cool. Tyler and I had a tintype taken at Greenfield village three or four weeks ago and I only just got it this past weekend.  I don't like the shape of my hoop, but I love the picture anyway...

Thank you!

if it were a bit grainier/rougher, i wouldn't be able to tell this from one taken at the turn of the century.

Yeah, it doesn't have the benefit of being knocked around for over a hundred years! Although tintypes as a form of photography are actually really clear... even the ones from the 1860s are often really crisp (assuming the photographer focused the image well) and show some incredible detail.

The hoop poke works; it reminds me of some of the ones in Dressed for the Photographer. Your pose reacting to it just looks right.

It's perfect! What a lovely photo! Even your expressions seem period XD

The tintype is so cool!
