Hello everybody,
My name is Giovana, I´m an argentinian photographer and I live in B.A
I used to work in publicity and fashion until one day I got sick of it.
It looks like as if the same pictures are being taken over and over again.
Nowadays the world is overwhelmed by the amount of pictures taken.At least,
that´s the way I feel.That´s why I decided to quit photography 4 years ago.
Last year something happened,though. Maybe because of the argentinian Bicentennary
I got interested in daguerreotypes. As a matter of fact,after reaserching a lot, I was granted
an access to the National Historical Museum Collection. Over there I was lucky enough to hold very old and important daguerreotypes.I coudn´t believe the beauty and the quality of these unique images!
This is the first time I write to you all but I´ve been visiting cdags for months searching information and also reading “The Daguerreotype Ninetheenth-Century Technology and Modern Science” and the “American Handbook of Daguerreotype” and buildind the fuming boxes I need.
That´s all for now. As soon as I have my plates I hope to get started.
I´d be grateful if you are willing to help me.
Thanks a lot! Regards. Giovana.
