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...

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.
