My Response to the Daguerreotype Workshop
The daguerreotype workshop left me with an appreciation for photography, because I am accustomed to the quick and easy fix of digital photography. Not only that, but the process of preparing and developing a daguerreotype is more labor intensive than traditional 35mm/darkroom photography. I will now think twice when complaining about how long something takes, in regards to photogenic processes. I just wish we would continue to do daguerreotypes because the imagery is so beautiful and raw. It is almost like projecting our ideas into a fantasy world of the past.

Love this paragraph!
ReplyDeleteOne little thought, word "photogenic" means: forming an attractive subject for photography or having features that look well in a photograph: a photogenic face. So probably you mean photographic... though your way is very poetic.
