The Daguerreian Society Symposium 2008

[jdanforth]

I’ll be attending the symposium for the first time this year and I was wondering who was going. I thought that it would be fun to schedule a contemporary daguerreotypist meet-up.

The symposium this year is in Washington, DC November 6-9. It just so happens to be within my Jonathan T. Danforth-approved driving distance. Otherwise I’d have to give it a pass again. ” title=”Very Happy” />

This will be my second year, last year in Kansas City was a great experience for me. It was nice to meet everyone. The whole group of people are great, both the collectors (which far outnumber us) and the daguerreotypists. I think the best part was seeing in person the work of the other daguerreotypists, I had nothing to compare my work to up to that point. It made me feel like part of the club so to say when the other practitioners looked at my plates and declared them fine examples of the craft, it felt like positive justification for a few years of hard work.

I actually live 20 miles outside DC so this is in my backyard so to say. If anyone has and questions about visiting DC just let me know Ive been here off and mostly on for the last 10 years. Larry
