ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Daguerreotype / 6x6 cm Silver Plate / Mercury Development / in 2016

This is my very first successful daguerreotype self-portrait with my hand-made equipment behind me. It was a very long way to master the legend photographic process, daguerreotype. That period of eight seconds was the first time I was proud of myself.
