Daguerrotypes!
8/23/2004 12:04PM:
Today is my birthday, hooray for me and my 24 years! One more year and the insurance companies will stop assuming that I’m high risk!
I will be at the Penland School of Crafts all next week learning the art of Becquerrel-process Daguerreotypes from Jerry Spagnoli. I’ve been researching this special brand of photography for about a year and I’m very excited about learning it. Along with the process of wet-plate tintypes, Daguerreotypes should help me in a couple of the projects I’ve got in the works.
Because Amazon is a bit slow in getting my new credit card to me, I’m forced to wait on ordering the photo supplies I need to do more work. Since I’m heading to Penland on Sunday, I will probably stay out of the darkroom until the week following anyway. More to come…
