he daguerreotype is a one-of-a-kind, highly detailed photographic image on a polished copper plate coated with silver. It was the first popular photographic medium and enjoyed great success when it was introduced in 1839. Although primarily a nineteenth-century medium involving a painstaking process, daguerreotypy is still practiced today by an active--and avid--group of devotees.. + Informações

This is Eric Mertens of TheDagLab.com who specializes in the art of making daguerreotypes, wet plate collodion process. See a quick glimpse of Eric's modern take on 1800s style photography and the difficulties of how to make daguerreotypes, ambrotypes (glass negatives), and tintypes. The music temporarily added to this segment is by Django Reindhardt and his wife, called Blue Drag, 1935. In the final version of the movie, the music featured will either be by Oaklanders or those who have performed in Oaksterdam. In Oakland, there is a community of über creative musicians and artists who never cease to blow my mind. I felt that someone needed to document this magical moment in time and space, so I am. This is one of many TEASERS I am uploading to YouTube so that everyone can enjoy it while I do the long hours holed up at home editing the full feature documentary about Oakland music and art. www.jadenalexander.com. + Informações

Exhibition of Young America: Daguerreotypes of Southworth and Hawes. + Informações

Albert Sands Southworth (1811-1894) and Josiah Johnson Hawes (1808-1901) operated a daguerreotype studio together in Boston, MA. They are considered the finest American portrait photographers of the nineteenth century. They were in partnership for approximately twenty years beginning in 1843 with commercial portraiture as their primary focus. A unique characteristic of the partnership was that the studios work was not completed by several different photographers. Instead, all work produced by the studio was by the hand of either Southworth, Hawes, or the two men together. The George Eastman House collection consists of approximately 1200 daguerreotypes by Southworth & Hawes. The Museum mounted a major exhibition in collaboration with ICP in 2005 called Young America: The Daguerreotypes of Southworth & Hawes. Daguerreotypes are sharply defined, highly reflective, one-of-a-kind photographs on silver-coated copper plates, packaged behind glass and kept in protective cases. Introduced in 1839 by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, the daguerreotype process was the first commercially successful photographic process and is distinguished by a remarkable clarity of pictorial detail. Although early daguerreotypes required exposures of several minutes, advances in the process quickly reduced exposure times, to the relief of many sitters. Daguerreotypes were popular through the 1840s and into the 1850s, especially for portrait photography. Music by Harold Budd, 'The photo of Santiago McKinn'.. + Informações

A dozen small LCD screens, removed from cheap handheld games, are hung along the walls of a darkened room. Reanimated with homemade circuits, illuminated with tiny green lights, they cast diminutive, pixilated shadow plays. The remainders from the eviscerated toys are dumped in the corner and set to play. The signals that normally control the graphics are connected to speakers, producing patterns of drones that shake the scrap filling the speaker cones.

Daguerreotypes, the first photographic and imaging process started in 1839, have an incredible level of detail. This is plate 4 of the Cincinnati Waterfront Panorama Daguerreotype consisting of 8 plates, taken by Charles Fontayne and William S. Porter in 1848. The plate, property of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton Counties, was imaged in tiles using a stereomicroscope (Zeiss StereoDiscovery.V12) at George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & Film, Kay Whitmore Conservation Center, in Rochester, NY. A data-set containing high-resolution images of this panorama is described in Tang et al.'s paper "Digital Analysis and Restoration of Daguerreotypes" (2010) in SPIE Electronic Imaging .

Video and description of some Daguerreotypes from my collection. There is a mistake in some of my narration. In the video I said that these images were made on silver plated zinc. I left out the most popular method of silver plated copper. Also toward the end I said the sizes of the 3 images were 1/4 plate 1/8 plate and 1/16 plate. That was wrong They are 1/4 plate 1/6 plate and 1/8 plate. Forgive me people, it was a very busy day and I did not have time to re film this. + Informações
