This just in… some very nice coverage of the new Linda Benedict-Jones curated show “Digital to Daguerreotype” at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. The show, which examines the history of photography, includes seventy images, among them Jerry Spagnoli’s unique daguerreotype of the inauguration of President Obama.

Obama Inauguration

A group post mortem has been added to Mike’s gallery, the plate is a new format to the scene (4.25 x 8.5 inches) and is housed in a rectilinear passe partout.

Our latest gallery from France features Dominique Genty. A geologist and scientific photographer, Dominique’s images show historic and prehistoric relics.  His interests aren’t isolated to making daguerreotypes however, he is also using his scientific background to investigate the processes of image formation.

A new galvanised, gilded and gripping image has been added to Irv’s gallery…

New to the technology galleries is a section to document workshops given by practitioners. First gallery added is Jerry Spagnoli’s recent offering through f295.

Three new images have been added to Rob’s gallery including this whole plate (left) and two 4×5’s.

New portraits and landscapes have been added to Tyler’s gallery who is having a very productive year and coming to terms with the Becquerel process

Our newest gallery belongs to daguerreotypist Robert Shlaer. Robert started experimenting with the process in 1973 and in 1987 he ended his career in theoretical biology to become a full time daguerreotypist. His images range from portraits and landscapes to solar eclipses and the moon. Robert also recreated Carvalho’s lost daguerreotypes from Frémont’s fifth expedition.
