A convergence of contemporary Daguerreotypists, veteran and newcomer, occurred this last week in Washington D.C.. Held at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery which displayed a collection gifted by Larry West, the Daguerreian Society Symposium hosted a trade fair of Vintage and contemporary Daguerreotypes and a day of presentations by Photo historians. If those that attended have more images to add, please email them in, as it will be of interest to those who could not attend.
