It was Tintype Tuesday in the Park. The weather, and the light, was variable. Cloudy to sunny to partly sunny and back to clouds! Rain all morning but we managed to get a window of dryness.

They say “the show must go on” so we worked through the continuously variable light. Smith Park, Menasha, was the location and Victorian era costumes were the order of the day – a perfect fit with Victorian era photography!

After the more formal portraits we switched it up. You know the party is starting when the bag of stuffed Paddington Bears is opened up! Or is it a bag with Paddington Bear and his friends? Whatever the diction, hard to beat a tintype of a beautiful woman and some stuffed bears!

Maybe Paddington Bear makes for a whimsical portrait, but then I am not sure how to describe our final tintype… maybe “Victorian Dream… with Steampunk” will do… Not sure if it is a good dream or something more sinister. But certainly it turned out to be a lot of fun!
