Gusdugger Tintype Photographs

Hannah Mills, Director of Education at @makebhm. #tintype

Really excited to share this work. #where_you_come_from_is_gone opens Friday 6-8 at @lowemillarts in Huntsville, Ala.

Making plates near the former site of Turkey Town, a Cherokee village and home to the last Cherokee King, Chief Pathkiller. We are making photographs for our coming exhibition, "Where you come from is gone," at @lowemillarts opening July 7th.

Took the mobile darkroom out today to photograph some old mining sites in west Birmingham.

We took our wet plate gear out on the road for the first time today, with our mobile dark room in the back of Jared's truck. After a left turn off of Hwy 79 to follow a winding road through Little Shenandoah we met Miss Polly and Mister Clyde. They were out in their pasture "turd draggin" (clearing cattle manure). Polly and Clyde have been married for more than 50 years and their families have been farming in Blount County for three generations.
