Tintypes are my favorite type of antique photo. I love how dark and moody they are, with their oh-so-hip grungy borders, dings, and scratches. It was really fun to combine the tintype look with outdoor photography. I think it makes the world seem quite dreamlike and surreal.
And just for something different, I also tried out a more formal-looking cabinet card too, which you can see below. All of these were made by combining my modern digital photos with scans of real tintypes, cabinet cards, and old paper.
Thanks for letting me share a few of my faux-Victorian selfies with you all!

I absolutely love the photos. Beautiful!
This is amazing!!! Truly beautiful!
Nearly two decades ago we've had our wedding photos taken with my brother-in-law's historic camera (it's one of those wooden cameras with leather bellows - sorry for the poor explanation, but I don't have the english term) on a glasstype. It took really some time to take the photo and we've had to sit very still. Back then only one photographer was able to debelope it into a paper picture - unfortunately only in standard 1990s paper though.
Your 'faux' potos look even better, like precious memories of the past, with their amazing shades and blurry parts.
Wish I could take one of your classes! Photography will always remain a mystery to me ;)

These are so cool!
Very well done! Note to self...take a class from Jen.....
Oh, I just love your pictures. I have hundreds of pictures of my Paternal Grandma's family, my Poppa's and of my Dad's. We used to spend hours going through them, and her telling me who was who, and where the pictures were taken and when. Then my daughter's got to do the same thing with her and they have beautiful memories too. Have a Merry Christmas. Blessings Paula
