About two years ago, I set out to figure out the Becquerel process of making a daguerreotype. I read, googled and crafted. I haven’t really made any in over a year, but I plan to change that. This gallery show cases some of my successes and my equipment.
The process takes some patience, and custom made equipment. There is a wealth of info available on making them and there is a community of photographers who engage in the practice. You can see some other daguerrian practitioners at www.cdags.com.
