Old Timey Camera

[generalmeow]

I took some more pics this weekend. I was having major problems getting the chemicals to stick to the glass plates, and I didn't figure it out until the very end of the shoot (I was apparently waiting too long between coats of chemicals, causing an unknown complication, but I changed my method and it stopped). I still got some pretty cool looking faces, but the plates look like junk overall. It actually makes them look kinda authentically aged, but that's not what I'm going for. I want nice clean pics that look old.

I did figure out that if you take a guy with some wrinkles on his face, put a cravat and cowboy hat on him, and take a picture of him with this camera, he'll look pretty mean.
