Meg's response to workshop
At first, I thought that this process was going to be easy. Boy, was I wrong! I didn't realize how many steps were involved in the process. It amazes me even more that people use to do this process while traveling. They use to have photography wagons for this process. There are some crazy steps like polishing the silver plate for 40 minutes, putting on the toxic chemicals, then taking the actual photo, and then developing with mercury. After all of that, I realize that my Daguerreotype only showed one good brick. I guess I didn't polish it right. I will just stick to digital. It was just very educational. I don't think outside of our class can say they actually made a daguerreotype.

Hi Megan, great paragraph! I think you can re-read it and see that there are words missing because of the natural way you wrote. Such as: "used to" and last sentence... needs a little clarification.
ReplyDeleteMy only other thought is if you want to check with Cho about the exact chemicals we used. It might fit in with your paragraph, and the details could be good for the readers. (I can't remember all the names, but I think he will.)
