What a great idea! I love the idea of contemporary people and things rendered in tintype, and the confusion it might cause later.

I wonder about the exposure time – is it only good for composed portraits rather than faster moving, more fleeting subjects?

Plus, no matter how small you can cut the plates, I still don’t think I’ll fit one in my digital point’n'shooter!

Maybe I should make a pinhole camera . . .

On that subject, I found a link for a pdf you could download of a fabulous cut and paste pinhole camera – will report back when I find it again!
