Tintype

Recently we discovered some old family tintypes, circa 1860 – 1875.  Here are a couple of my mother’s grandmother, taken when she was about five or six (with her brother?) and around twenty years of age.

And here is a Popular Photography article on three contemporary artists working in the medium.

New York Times T Mag 50 Best Fashion Photos

Don’t really follow fashion or fashion photography (but am a fan of Richard Avedon‘s great stuff from mid-20th century to early 2000s).  However, some stuff is too interesting to ignore.  Like many of these slideshow images from “Best Photos From Fashion Month“.  One of the fifty:
