This old-timey, tin-type collodion photograph (i.e. an actual, physical tin plate photo) of yours truly was taken for me at Anthrocon 2015, by a kind and humble fellow named Velantian. He had a fascinating setup out on a balcony of the convention center, complete with wooden box camera with drape, tin plates, and an old-fashioned developing lab on a wooden cart. This was his very last plate for the weekend, after having been at it for several hours. He claimed that he made an error when pouring the developer (hence the streak across the center), but I think of it more as a bit of artistic flair. ;) In any case, it looks great, and it's a very cool example of a rare and historic pastime! Look for him at upcoming cons and such!

This image also features a wonderful bamboo flute gifted to me by my friend Qarrezel, and a brand new floofy 'yote tail created by her and others of ClockworkCreature. The hat, meanwhile, was a lucky find at the one and only hat store in downtown Pittsburgh (called "The Headgear").
