Darcy "Little Proudfoot" Dag 3

6/3/2010

0 Comments

 
This plate has the beauty and character of lovely Darcy in so many ways.  Taken on a beautiful evening at the rocky edge of Sandusky Bay (Darcy's favorite place.)  All kinds of new variables have arisen on this plate. Scratches.... Lots of them, Luckily they sort of add some character, almost placed intentionally on the bottom and top.  We made 4 plates total in Pittsburgh the day before we left and found that Plate 1 had no scratches, 2(This Dag) & 3 many scratches, and the 4th none.  I think something got picked up in the buff and then tossed out after the next plate.  This was also the first time to use my sinar with xenon f2.0 lens.  Focus is extremely critical at that aperature and it seems i need to spend a day calibrating ground glass.  The next dag won't be so artful... on too the newspaper for a good focus check.  Rouge was a little to liberal as you can see from the spotting.

    This historic process, invented by Jaques Daguerre in 1839, provides a unique depiction of important people, places, and moments in life.  After training with Jerry Spagnoli, one of the most notable Daguerreotype artists, we have gained a love and appreciation for this medium that can only be realized by experiencing final pieces in person.  This is especially significant due to the hallographic visual quality provided by these artistic representations.  The final product is a mirror image of the subject captured on a silver coated copper plate, beautifully enclosed in a case built specifically to display the intended image.  Longevity is certainly an asset to this art, as dags have proven to last well beyond 100 years.
