A collaborative portrait of the very cool band Kitty, Daisy, and Lewis. Great people and consummate performers.

The fading and specks are all digitally added and then the piece was contact-printed.

I recently took a class taught by Mike Robinson. I have finally learned the Mercurial method of daguerreotypy! This is an image of me taken by my friend Jill while I was gilding a daguerreotype in the field.
