From 7/27/2008 – 8/1/2008 daguerreotype master (pater familias, perhaps) Jerry Spagnoli will be teaching the Becquerel method of daguerreotypie at a workshop at The Photographer’s Formulary.
I attended a similar workshop in North Carolina a few years ago and it really whet my appetite. Being a learns-by-doing kind of guy, I found the small class size and topical focus to be enormously helpful in creating daguerreotypes on my own.
I can’t say that everything I know about daguerreotypes is because of Jerry but I will tell you that it sure is a healthy percentage. Don’t miss the opportunity to study with a real master of the art.
The Photographer’s Formulary is a wonderful stop online and I can only imagine that they provide an equally fun shopping experience in person. Bring some pocket money!
