An interesting little film on a guy shooting Tintypes :
A couple of guys I went to college with shot alternative processes, Van Dyke Brown (I think) and exquisite small ambryotypes in the second instance. Always wrote these processes off as gimmicks and questioned the reasons for doing them, enjoyable little film though.
Recommend anyone who hasn't seen to watch "What Remains", Sally Mann, it's on youtube in parts, interesting insight not only into the various processes, but also the thinking and reason behind the work, which for me is more important than the mechanics.
Here's the first part of the Sally Mann film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu0m2CY_Kb0 enjoy!
