Pretty soon we will have a guest in the class to teach us how to do Tintypes! This is a process one of my college professors does all of the time and it is something I have always wanted to do and Mr. Reeves has a buddy who is going to help us out!
Before we actually do this, I want you to research the history and the process of Tintype, or Ferrotype, Photography. Please submit a 350-400 word essay on the history and the process. I also want you to post 10 images that you find online (new or old) of Tintype photography. Underneath each photo please write 1-2 sentences on why you picked that image. Finally I want you to tell me what you want your Tintype to look like, a portrait of who? What will they wear? Etc. Keep in mind that it will have to be taken in this classroom.
Here is a news article about my professor and his process:

Out with BLEND in with BLOGS!
This year we will be using blogger to publish and post all of our assignments on the internet.
To accomplish this we have to set up an account: Please follow the instructions carefully. Its important that you do each step correctly and that you remember all the vital information so you can get back to it later.
Here's how:
What you will need
· Internet access
· An Email account
First – Create a Blogger account
Open Safari - you can use Chrome, but sometimes the interface between the Macintosh computers and Chrome can cause problems. Safari is the native internet browser for Macintosh, so its the one I recommend.
· Go to http://www.blogger.com/
· Click on the orange "Sign Up" box at the top right of your screen - if you have a gmail - this will be really easy because blogger is a gmail product.
In “Step One”
· Enter your gmail address
· Enter the password for your gmail
· Enter a display name – Do NOT use your full real name. To be safe, we will keep our blogs semi-anonymous - I recommend you do something like Firstname_lastinitial_blog, or something similar. No one can see this unless you leave your computer logged in on accident, but lets be safe.
· Enter the word verification
· Click on the “accept terms box, and hit continue·
· If there are any problems, they will show up in red.
Fix the problems
In “Step Two”
· In the blog title box, enter “first name’s Photojournalism Blog” (Ex Michael’s Photojournalism Blog) - this is what will show up at the top of your blog - My blog is called Bowie Photojournalism.
· In the (URL) box, enter the same thing as the title, but with no spaces or apostrophe (Ex: mattsphotojournalismblog) - this URL can be seen by anyone, so please keep it school appropriate.
· Hit “Check Availability”
· If it is available, hit continue. If it is not, select one of the suggestions, and then hit continue.
· Select a template and hit continue·
You did it!
Now make your first post on your new blog:
Hit “Start Posting”
Type “Welcome to my blog” in the post subject line, and hit “Publish Now”
Click on “View Blog” to see the results.
Select and copy the web address (URL) of your new blog
(ex: michaelsphotojournalismblog.blogspot.com)
Open your personal gmail, not your school gmail and send an email with the following info to:
bowie.comm.photo@gmail.com
Subject : My blog
Full Name: ____
Paste URL here: ______
