Around this time last year, I shot this piece while assisting @jerryspagnoli ‘s wonderful Daguerreotype workshop at Penland School of Craft.
Daguerreotypes are photographs exposed onto sensitized silver-plated pieces of copper that have been buffed to a mirror finish. Because of this daguerreotypes looks different depending on the viewing angle and are more of an optical device than your average photograph.
Although I'm pretty happy with the quality of the scan, a digital copy doesn't quite do justice to handling an actual plate.

Once the dust settles on some current projects, I hope to continue exploring this process further.

I grateful that I’ve had a chance to share my work at one of the first group exhibitions at ROY G BIV gallery’s new location in Franklinton. If you haven’t visited yet the show ‘Home’ will be up through this Friday.

I’m excited to be sharing work from PHOTOFINISHING tomorrow at the @chromedgephotolab
6-9pm

The project was short entirely on #kodachrome right before Dwayne’s Photo retired the last working processor left on earth!

Sending good juju out to my friend @movepaige and her awesome crew of dancers in Philadelphia who are debuting a performance tonight at the @mascher.space.
For those of you who are curious about how this image was made-this is a single exposure with multiple flash pops. I much prefer making images in-camera rather than in the computer!

Today we found a camera obscura made from a garage door and a bullet hole!

Several months ago the photo gods smiled upon me and left an unopened box of Polaroid Type 55 film in the free store at my studio space! Last month i finally broke it open and made some pictures while testing out the @cameradactyl with Mr. Mat Marrash and Ms. Melissa
