The REAL heliograph. Daguerreotype researcher and photograph conservator.
A great read on American photography with smart quotes from brilliant curator, Shannon Perich from the Smithsonian Museum of American History…plus a mention of the Henry Fitz self-portrait daguerreotype I just finished analyzing and prepared for this exhibition. Congratulations to Mattie & Hans!!!
In ‘American Photography’ at the Rijksmuseum, a Foreign Lens on the American Dream
A major Dutch museum is staging a huge exhibition of American photography that explores the tension between how the United States would like to see itself, and how it really looks.

The vibe this week
So far, I like it here. My feed is primarily just amazing photographs of blue herons and a bunch of random cat pics. Feels much better than the targeted Instagram ads that constantly reminded me that my skin is saggy and old.
