Old school

I thought the lecture on Monday evening was very interesting! It's nice to know that there have always been people throughout time who are pushing the creative envelopes as we all are trying to. I found it fascinating how an ambrotype is made of a glass negative with a black background which therefore makes it positively visible. Also, as the tin types came along they used them like business cards with their advertisments on the back and added hand colored additions. I liked looking at the old pictures of bulidings around campus and imagining life back then. Sometimes I wish I were born in the 1800s...
