Tintype: George Eastman Stamps

I made these for fun and to do a consistency test. The George Eastman 3 cent stamps were scanned on a professional flatbed scanner, converted to black and white, and printed a little smaller than the 4×5″ negative size. I then enlarged them in the darkroom to an 8×10″ to see how well I could develop the plate. Sometimes I give myself little tests like, helps keep the brain fresh and curious about all aspects of life. I made a couple of these as a very short limited edition run. This particular plate was the first one I made.
