Gene, thanks for commenting. Saw you mention Acros over in the Medium Format forum- I'll keep my eyes peeled for your pics over there. The Agfapan 25 above is wild.

Jeff, I was out at my folks yesterday and on their mantle is a shot of my grandfather with my nephew (his great-grandson) taken shortly before he passed. Your shot reminded me of it. There is something indescribably profound about seeing the very old and the very young frozen together in time. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm missing my grandfather, too.

The tintype stuff sounds great.
Nesster, glad the weather treated you OK. Based on what I heard from the meteorologists here, you would have thought the world was coming to an end. I appreciate the irony in metro NY dodging the bullet. Seminar was kind of interesting in that it paired modern technology with the old - prof had take a digital file, converted it to a positive transparency (color) and made a contact print. Also did a transparency of the same file in B&W and did another contact print. Despite the tintype being B&W, the emulsion reacts stronger to some colors of light, so there was a difference in the resulting tintypes. Also put one of the treated plates in a field camera and took a photo. Part of it ended up severely over-exposed and part was bang on. In terms of creating an image from scratch, I'm not sold on the process. However as an interesting treatment of an existing image, it appealed to me.
Best to all,
Kevin
