You beat me to it I had stumbled across this the other day but had forgotten to post it.
Yes very interesting to see someone using tin type. Its interesting to see such a modern subject shown this way. There's something about monochrome espically when the subject is modern that I like. I guess you notice details that you do not notice in a color photograph. I wonder dose anyone notice something about each photo? An attention to detail test. I especially like the one of the technical sergeant and the capatian knealing. Looks to be a USAF pararesuce unit. |

In general I think the effect looks much better in character-focused photos than in the ones with too much modern equipment. The small pic in the top right and the second large picture with the black soldier look absolutely amazing. If they had the right uniforms and weapons you'd think they just hopped out of the 19th century into today. Last edited by Penguin; 01-24-15 at 05:29 PM. Reason: more sense |

I married Nancy in Gettysburg, Pa.
We have pictures with my old friend Eddie Murphy beside me. He was my best man.
