Tin Type

[terri]

Terri, Orie....You two aren't allowed to talk about stuff like this anymore. At least not until I get the stuff for the lifts and can produce a few of them.
I really do like the tin prints. I would love to do one in an old box camera and see how it came out, too.

Hear that, Orie?? We're being artistically repressed by a mod!

Hey! Everyone! Did you see him repressing us??

He's not my king, I didn't vote for him....

Love Jill Enfield, Orie! I've had that book for a while. Her infrared images are sublime!

And she is a very talented hand colorist. :sillysmi:

I did find her chapter on the Polaroid processes a bit simplistic, however.

Who would you recommend for Polaroid processes? I reallly want to start other Polaroid techniques.

Kathleen Thormod Carr writes in great detail about Polaroid. Her book on SX-70 manipulations is wonderful fun. You wouldn't need it for basic technique, since you have that well in hand, Mis-tah Hobbes, but there is a great section on various Land cameras you might find interesting, as well as artistic ideas, and a gallery of artists who have done amazing things with it.

She has a book on transfers and lifts that's pretty good, too. A quick Amazon search would probably bring her up, plus other artist's books on the same subject. I'd love to see you getting into it more, since you're so good at the SX-70 stuff. I'm betting your stuff would be great!

:shock: Thanks Auntie Terri!!! I would love to get some more various Polaroids to shoot with. It's in my blood now. I think the next thing I'll do is get a daylab and some bases so I can do the manips and start some lifts.

bwahahaha!!!! Start saving your pennies....you have been overcome by the P-bug! :twisted: B&H has the best prices I've seen....you won't want ot buy from Daylab Corp or Polaroid. You'll LOVE having the SX-70 base and being able to shoot slide film while ultimately thinking Polaroid manipulation. Take a deep breath, cause none of it is cheap, but for me it's the most creative outlet on the planet. :cheer:

Best guess is turn of the century say between 1890 and 1910 or so.
