really great Paul... Are you working on a lot of glass plate images, ?? I am more interested in negatives than final tintypes , as I can then take in multiple directions.

Thank you Bob.
When I first did a workshop to learn wet plate, I imagined I would work ostensibly with tintype, not negs on glass. However, I am finding I am much more drawn to making glass negatives as I gain more experience with the process. Like you, I feel that having a glass negative as the output allows me much greater flexibility in terms of how I can use the plate. I expect that over time, I will be making far more glass negatives than anything; reproducibility is definitely important to me, and the less I have to rely on digital tools for creating final output, the better. (for me)
