Within the Mission District in San Francisco lies an amazing tintype photography studio called Photobooth. The best part is that you can just walk in and get a tintype portrait for yourself. Co-founder, Michael Shindler, not only talks about how it all got started but gives us a look into the process from start to finish. Check it out the next time you're in San Francisco!

Awesome. I agree with the last sentence. I started my journey with photography from digital cameras and I am very interested with film. It is just soo expensive.
