Early Pumpkins

Quarter-Plate Daguerreotype

Bromine: red with slight yellow interior

It has been quite a while since I have made any traditional Daguerreotypes. This plate--although underexposed and possibly under-quicked--is a great success, and hopefully the beginning of a new season of image making.
