MANHATTAN – I met with Hans Kraus at his eponymous gallery today and took pictures of pictures. Hans deals exclusively in early (generally mid-19th Century) photographic materials. My picture for today is a waxed paper negative by Louis-Alphonse Davanne (French 1824-1912) that is titled, dated and signed “Pise No. 1 / A. Davanne 1853”. I made it into a positive in Adobe Lightroom.

MANHATTAN – We saw the remarkable The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay at the Metropolitan Opera today. It’s simply the most amazing production that I’ve ever seen on a stage anywhere. During a break we found ourselves standing near the marble plaque pictured in this post. Growing up in Salt Lake City the Texaco Metropolitan Opera broadcasts were my first exposure to opera and the start of a life-long interest. Here’s what Claude says about the Texaco broadcasts:
The Texaco Metropolitan Opera broadcasts were the long-running live radio transmissions of Saturday matinee performances from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, sponsored by Texaco from 1940 to 2004. This sponsorship marks the longest continuing corporate broadcast partnership in American radio and television history, making the broadcasts a preeminent cultural tradition in the U.S.
