That’s a wonderful tribute to a long-forgotten part of the US. Wonderful people and a very interesting culture!

The photography was interesting too.

I just love the overall look and tonality of tintypes.

I have read quite a bit about them, but maybe I could get around to getting a kit (in the UK?) to have a go this summer as a project?
