In other news, Howlermano Photography recently showcased tintype portraits at Club Metronome in Burlington on March 16. Photographer Jeff Howlett creates authentic portraits using a unique process involving metal plates coated with emulsion and silver nitrate. The portraits are then developed with flashbulbs and sealed with lacquer, creating a vintage look. This event allowed attendees to witness the process firsthand.
Overall, it’s shaping up to be a big year for Vermont’s music scene, with new releases from Forest Station and the return of the River City Rebels. The unique photography event by Howlermano Photography also added to the excitement of Vermont’s nightlife scene.
