This is a tutorial on using modern chemistry made by Rockland Colloid to make dry-plate tintypes. The advantages of dry plate to the historic wet plate process include simpler procedure (with less chemistry to work with), less toxic chemicals, easier handling of plates, ability to use the plates out in the field and deferring development for a later time. All in all, it’s an easier and more accessible way to do tintypes.

Lines, Interacting with an Idea
So far, even in an online world, the main application of authorship is linear writing--the bringing of information into a sequence--a line following the logic of written language. The result is following the structure of a timeline. These texts normally translate the process of thought and of reasoning into a sequence of cause and effect; there is a development in linear story, that we as readers can easily follow. In a time where books and documents were the main carriers of text, the environments for writing and reading looked very similar. The guiding voice of the author, his narrative, was made obvious to the reader in his linear path.
