At last Friday’s 99% Conference, I had the pleasure to experience the magic of old Tintype Portrait Photography. Michael Shindler brought his tintype studio set up all the way from SF to the 99% conference and set up shop.
In this Cool Hunting video they talk to Michael, co-founder of Photobooth. If you are in SF, make sure to go by and have one of these Tintype Portraits taken. Nothing really compares.
Also check out the piece about Photobooth at 99% on the conference website.
Nice ;))

I love it. Do you know if there’s anywhere in NYC that does tintype?

This is worth a trip to SF! Really cool portraits, I wish my photo booth had a tintype option!
