 lacunha/wetplate

An archaic photographic process which predates film, now pressed into the BlockChain. A medium with the largest content of pure silver and the most archival properties, now has an added layer of longevity.

You'll find two types of listings here. A simple digital, high resolution, uncompressed TIFF, suitable for printing. In addition, for a premium, the same high res file, coupled with unlockable content which will let the initial buyer possess the actual, one of a kind plate. This is like selling the photographic negative. Only one exists or will ever exist. Wetplates, tintypes, cannot be recreated. You can own it along with the NFT. Only one of these will be available.

So, what exactly is Tintype? Tintype is a subset of wet plate collodion imagery. where a sheet of metal, in this case, aluminum, is coated in salted collodion, submerged in a bath of silver nitrate, becoming light sensitive, exposed in a camera and developed all while wet. The first accessible photographic tool.
