ideas

I've been in Galveston, TX and exploring. I found some really awesome antique shops and two tintypes so far. I have an idea about doing portraits with the stuff in the antique shop but i don't want to buy them. I'm going back to ask if i can use the shops and take portraits. The portraits would be of the same person because she the one traveling with me and no one goes into the shops at all.

  1. Look at some of the early portraits of Nadar.

  2. I found 5 tintypes and a really old slide on glass. The owner of the shop wouldn't let me borrow the clothes or anything. The ones i found though are portraits, so i have an ok idea of what i might want to do with them.

  3. Are you using the tintypes in the portraits or recreating them?

  4. I won't be using the tintype in the portrait. I'm not sure if i want to recreate them. i'm going to go to LTM party store/Glass Slipper sometime this week to see about the costs of costumes. if it is cheap enough i would like to use them.
