With October coming up, this is as close as Tin Questions gets to a ghost story. Today we take a look at the life of a Senior Photographer for the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, who happens to have a pretty extensive background in tintype photography. Aside from her previous work of managing New York's Penumbra Foundation Tintype Studio, Jolene Lupo sits down to chat about what it's like to photograph both the living and the deceased, some history around the charlatans involved with spirit photography and how she ended up where she is.Note 1: Views expressed by our guests are theirs alone and do not represent their employers or any government official or agency.Note 2: I had some audio issues during this recording, but luckily it was mostly on my side, not Jolene's - Sorry in advance!
