“Positively Daguerreian” - Jonathan Danforth in CRAFT Magazine
The cool cats over at CRAFT Magazine have published an article all about yours truly. Peter Sheridan wrote a very nice article describing my reasons for making Daguerreotypes, philosophy about the art, and more. There are some pictures of some of my daguerreotypes in the article but sadly none of the in-process photos shot by my friend Frank.
The current issue of the magazine, issue No. 2, is on newsstands now. You can get a copy at Borders, B&N, etc. The price (as exhaustively reported by friends and family) is a princely $14.95 but the magazine is a quarterly affair with 160 pages of content and remarkably few advertisements.
The article about my work is on page 30 nestled snugly between the article on DIY pysanky by Paul Wirhun and Marina Bychkova’s bead-adorned porcelain dolls. Because I admire their art so much, I’m going to see if the above two artists would be interested in a collaborative project.
Please go out and buy a copy to support this cool new magazine. I’m very honored to have been included in such a cool publication.
