Vera by Victor

Mr. Vague is rounding off his one year anniversary of being a tintype photographer.

Completely self taught, he's become extremely adept at the art.

He's taken a variety of photos, from still lifes to outdoor scenes, but his favorite is the portrait.

Being on hand, I've had the opportunity to have my portrait taken plenty of times, and I share some of them with you now.

These are just some of the pictures in which I've been privileged to be. 

 There have been others, and there will be more to come.

PHOTO SHOOT: 23.AUG.14

We're back!

I do apologize for our absence these past couple weeks; we've been out in the world taking tintype portraits of all the characters we meet!

But we had a fantastic photo shoot today, so I do hope it makes up for lost time...

Lovely Ladies

Tintypes, Daguerrotypes, Ambrotypes, and some other types, 
I'm sure...

{ Gorgeous.  }
