WiNDOWS ON NObLES By JOHN HIrSCHElucidating <strong>the</strong> EverydayThese images are from an ongoing body <strong>of</strong> work comprised <strong>of</strong> tintypes <strong>of</strong> quotidian objects. Tintypesare a direct positive photographic process invented in 1853. Each image is made on a sheet <strong>of</strong> metalthat has been coated with collodion, a base for photo emulsions, and <strong>the</strong>n sensitized to light withsilver nitrate. While still wet, <strong>the</strong> plate is loaded into <strong>the</strong> camera, exposed to light and <strong>the</strong>n processedby hand in <strong>the</strong> darkroom. The resulting image is one <strong>of</strong> a kind. These images are explorations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>physical objects that make up our everyday lives, and how <strong>the</strong>se simple objects become icons andrelics when removed from all contextual information.
