You don’t see a lot of tintype photography these days, and it’s probably because it takes a lot more time and patience to get a picture developed then if you snap one with your smart phone and bring it to one of those one-hour photo places. It’s amazing how fast they can get a photo into your hands. But artist and photographer Edith Weiler has spent many years using the very old process of creating photos that predates the invention of film. We told you it was old. It involves metal plates, a number of chemicals and, like we said before, plenty of time and patience. And it just so happens that some of Weiler’s work is currently on display in the Jill C. Wilson Gallery at Kimball-Jenkins (that’s the gallery located in that huge mansion). It will be on display through the end of this month and is definitely worth a visit.
