In continuing our research on the history of photography, Stacy fills us in on the life of Louis Daguerre. Credited with inventing one of the first forms of photography, Daguerre would go down in history as a scientist who brought the worlds attention to this new concept. Using iodine, mercury vapor and a highly polished silver plate, Daguerre was able to not only capture an image but keep it from disappearing.

| 24 Oct 2023 | Archiving with The Film Hound | 01:12:09 | |
The average life of a roll of film often ends as soon as the images are scanned into digital files and are discarded never to be handled by the photographer again. Heck, up until the last few years, Walgreens and CVS would develop your film and wouldn't even offer to return your negatives as it was seen as an unnecessary cost in handling. Sadly, many film photographers are not informed or educated on the value of retaining their negatives. From the art of make traditional darkroom prints to the ability to rescan at higher resolutions, there are plenty of reason to hang onto these little bits of magical plastic. Along comes The Film Hound, a small business run by Jonathon Kohn. Focused on the preservation of film, their goal is to help keep these rolls out of the landfill and instead, neatly tucked away in binders to live out the rest of their lives in a comfortable climate controlled binder until they are needed again.

| 17 Oct 2023 | Henry Fox Talbot and the Calotype | 01:22:46 | |
Henry Fox Talbot was a British scientist and inventor who is best known for his pioneering work in the field of photography. He is credited with inventing the "calotype" or "talbotype" process, which was an early photographic method using paper negatives. This innovation laid the foundation for modern photography, as it allowed multiple positive prints to be produced from a single negative, unlike earlier methods. Talbot's contributions to the development of photography established him as one of the key figures in the history of this art form.

| 01 Sep 2023 | Talking Tintypes with Silver and Cedar | 01:33:35 | |
A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal, colloquially called 'tin', coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century and it has been revived as a novelty and fine art form in the 21st. If you don't have a tintype portrait yet, I can't recommend Silver and Cedar enough to create your first one. Not only are they masters at their craft, tintypes are the perfect format to display a portrait of you or a loved one. We got a chance to chat with Matt and Katie about how they got their start and where they are headed with photography.
