A tintype from a digital file?!

The original image was captured digitally during a photoshoot in my studio.  I loved the look of the digital image and wondered how the recreation would translate if I created a tintype from the original.  After creating a slide and dialing in the proper exposure into my enlarger, here are the results!  While I prefer the in camera capture of traditional tintype capture, I do find there to be enough magic in the recreation to catch my eye.  Plus it is neat-o to know that you can take any digital image and recreate a tintype!
