THIS EVENT IS FOR INFORMATION ABOUT GETTING A TINTYPE AT OLUSTEE.Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park commemorates the largest Civil War battle in Florida every year. It's a wonderful experience, even if you don't get a tintype. The battle reenactment is one of the few that has pyrotechnics, which is really exciting to watch.

You do not HAVE to frame your tintype - They are varnished. I do have some reproduction 1/4 plate frames in stock, but I am all out of 1/2 plate frames currently.
I tend to get quite busy at this event, and often get booked up quickly (by Friday morning), so to avoid disappointment please reserve a slot in advance online. If your plans end up changing, you can notify me and request a refund up to 24 hours beforehand. Not a problem - just let me know by text (843) 709-5347. If something comes up the actual day of your session, please come find me or send someone to make sure I know (sometimes I don't check my phone for hours). No refunds for no-shows.
I was told this year there MAY be a modern digital photographer set up near the food vendors, so to avoid any possible confusion, that's not me. You can find me at the far, far back corner of sutler row on the right side, opposite the blacksmith. I have a canvas sign with the word "PICTURES" painted in sloppy black letters, and you'll see my big wooden camera on a tripod. I like it back there with trees for shade and some degree of privacy for pictures (not as many spectators).
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A REENACTOR TO GET A TINTYPE MADE!
I make tintypes for anyone. I do NOT provide clothing. If you bring something special to wear for your picture, I have a small A-frame tent you can use to change clothes, or there are a couple of larger porta-potties. BE DRESSED AND READY BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED TIME.
Some suggestions about what to wear can be found here:

If you have read the F.A.Q. page, but still have a question, please contact me before the event starts. When I get there, I will be busy setting up and working and I can't guarantee I will even see texts/emails/messages until the evening.
