    cranesofaustin Wow. Thanks for posting this. I can't hear Gil in the first track, but I'm guessing she's one of the backup singers.

  Frank Hamrick
  
  In 2013 I bought a used 8x10” large format view camera while traveling
  during the summer and had it shipped to Jim Sherraden's house. Jim liked
  the tintype’s character and proposed making tintypes of musicians at
  Hatch Show Print. He believed folks would sit for a unique portrait made
  using an archaic process in an authentic setting. I told Jim I was
  interested and the first musicians I wanted to have sit for the series
  was Gillian Welch and her partner, Dave Rawlings.
  
  That next year a new version of the Dave Rawlings Machine was
  assembled, which featured both Dave and Gillian, along with former Old
  Crow Medicine Show multi-instrumentalist Willie Watson, Punch Brothers
  standup bassist Paul Kowert, and on mandolin and fiddle, John Paul Jones
  from Led Zeppelin.
  A
  string of dates was booked with the tour ending Friday night at the
  Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I wrote to Jim, who in turn had my letter
  forwarded to Gillian and Dave’s record label. Time passed without any
  response. More tour dates were added to the itinerary including a
  Saturday night show on the outskirts of town at the Grand Ole Opry.
  
  Friday, the day of the first Nashville show, the record label called
  Jim. His contact there had just returned from vacation and was now
  responding to his letter. Gillian and Dave loved the idea and wanted a
  tintype of the whole band. They had an hour and a half window of time
  Saturday evening before the Opry appearance.
  
  Due to the tintype’s long exposure time, it was decided the portrait
  would be made outside in Jim’s backyard rather than inside at Hatch. The
  band arrived already wearing their stage clothes. It became evident why
  they were interested in sitting for a tintype when Gillian said she
  studied photography in college and Dave made photographs with his Leica
  while I explained the wet plate process to everyone so they would know
  what to expect.
  The
  band was positioned under a large oak tree. Gillian and Dave sat up
  front while the rest of the band stood behind them with John Paul, the
  patriarch, in the center. Each tintype was sensitized, exposed and
  developed one at a time. Between shots the band ate BBQ in the driveway
  while Dave and John Paul played Neil Young’s “Last Trip To Tulsa”.
  Exposure times crept from six to eight seconds as the sun fell behind
  the trees. The band posed out in Jim’s field for a final ten-second
  exposure before heading to sound check.
  
  That night while driving into town for ice cream, we listened to the
  band’s Grand Ole Opry performance live on WSM AM radio.
  
  Two days later I was back in Louisiana making a tintype of Andy, one of
  my former graduate students. I showed Andy the final tintype from the
  Dave Rawlings session, “You may not recognize him but this guy in the
  middle is John Paul Jones.”
  Andy studied the image, “The name sounds familiar.”
  “Maybe you’ve heard of Led Zeppelin.”
  
  Andy, who once played drums in a punk band, looked into the distance,
  “I’ve only heard one Led Zeppelin song and it’s the one where they sing
  ‘We don’t need no education’, which shows just how much they need
  education because that’s a double negative.”
  “Andy, that’s Pink Floyd.”
  “Well, then I guess I only know one Pink Floyd song.”

Don't listen to me, I'm a twat. I really like your style of drawing. Honestly i didn't think you'd caught her likeness, but I did like the composition. I'm far too critical for my own good. I'm sorry you took down the post and I apologise. Jason
