About
I'm an artist using the old Daguerreotype method of photography invented in 1839. Since there hasn't been a Daguerreotype supply shop for about 150 years or so, I have to make pretty much everything that I need to pursue my art.

I'm a total geek so I make use of as many modern shortcuts as I can such as using eMachineShop.com for fabricating my brass mat blanks with a friggin laser beam.
Interests
Daguerreotypes, leatherwork, woodwork, computers, hacking, CAD, etc.
