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.
Day 5,831 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
Looking back exactly seven years to London. Day 3,273 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
