BB, Wow - I checked your photographer's website: this guy is high speed as he makes both collodion wetplate photographs and daguerreotype photographs (and sells dag supplies to boot).
Gotta love a pre-collodion process that involves mercury fumes! Not too many photographers using the old ways of making pictures enter into the realm of daguerreotypes. Nice.

I got to meet Ty a few days ago. I bought a print of the fellow walking up to the movie theater showing the Charlie Chaplin film. My dad is a history buff and a huge Chaplin fan. His picture looks even better in person. Very nice guy, he came to Tyler on some business and met up with me. Unfortunately he said he doesn't take many tintypes anymore, due to the chemicals required and his son walking around. He still takes the occasional tintype, and I hope I can catch him next year when he feels in the mood to take one. His business now is more focused on making the cameras.
