After being lost to the historical archives for generations, wet plate collodion photography is once again alive and well. This summer I attended John Coffer's Tintype Jamboree and met some wonderful people working in this lost art. John also gives workshops on wet plate photography. My hope is to some day have hand tinted tintypes or ambrotypes to show.
