Tintypes

:: Did you know that there are people who still make tintypes today? How awesome is that?! For those of you who don't know, a tintype or (ferrotype), is a positive image created using the wet-plate collodion process but instead of glass a piece of tin or iron with a black surface is used.

Contemporary Daguerreotypest Eric Mertens took these. I would love to have one done, though they are very expensive!
