If so, could you post the link of the photo or give me the title of it so that I can find it? I've been looking for a long time but found very little. And by interesting, I mean a photo that's not just a portrait of a high-class family standing/sitting with emotionless faces but something something more unqiue and different.

There are actually quite a few modern practioners of the glass collodion/amrbotype/tintype process as well as the daguerreotype process. Just take a look at this website http://www.alternativephotography.com/artists/artists.html
If you are looking for interesting tintypes or vintage photos in general just take a look on ebay, you can always find interesting photos there. Personally if you are interested in some of the more peculiar subjects that early photographers experimented with take a look at occult photography. Also as I am probably sure you are aware of, early daguerreotype photos of babies sleeping are actually in fact death photos, the parents last memory of the child. Typically these photos are titled something like sleeping child.

I do have a ambroype I bought in an antique shop, is of a pesant and I use to show to my students, they love to see an original of that time, also a 'carte de presentacion' on tintype, depicting a Hi society girl.
