Peeling Daguerreotype on silvered glass: WOW!

Posted 13 August, 2007 in Technique

Look what happened when Jason Greenberg Motamedi tried making a Daguerreotype on silvered glass! He says:

I made a few marginally successful Becquerel plates last year using silvered glass, however something about the traditional method (perhaps the heat of the Mercury?) caused much of the silver to flake off in the fixer.

Yes! Beautiful! Long string of positive expletives!

You can see more of his work at his Web site, motamedi.info, and at his excellent Daguerreotype blog, daguerreotypy.blogspot.com.
