Revealing Character Texas Tintypes

America's first major contribution to the art of photography that dates back to the heyday of the cattle drives (1850-1880), tintypes went on to become the country's favorite portrait format. A tedious and unforgiving method of photography that necessitates patience and commitment from both the subject and the photographer, posing for a tintype requires more time than modern point-and-shoot photography, and instructions must be followed carefully or the photograph will be ruined. The tintypes--85 in all--are showcased and are accompanied by field notes that provide a look at each individual and his/her dedication to the cowboy way of life.Kendrick, Robb is the author of 'Revealing Character Texas Tintypes', published 2005 under ISBN 9781931721578 and ISBN 1931721572.
