23 January, 2012...
When I first became interested in the Civil War, and more specifically, Gettysburg, I saw an ad for a civil war photographer, who was taking images using original equipment and traditional formulas...as a photographer myself, I was already curious about the "tintypes" and "glass plates", having learned a little from the Ken Burns documentary...it's hard to imagine that countless original glass plates were used in greenhouses after the war, with the images being lost due to exposure to sunlight...so, I went into R.J.
Rob Gibson Photography is worth a trip when you're in Gettysburg
