Default OT: What other things do you collect?
Posted By: jason

As I started to look for earlier and earlier baseball images (from cabinets to tins to CDV’s to Ambrotypes and so on), I started to appreciate the art involved in the earliest form of images (Daguerreotypes) and the people behind the ghostly-silver photos that had long since passed on. I started off collecting any old dag (true black & white images on silver coated metal plates) but have now progressed to collecting the experimental period of photography from 1839 – 1843. (2 pictured are from 1840 & 1841 respectively)
