Daguerrotype


A daguerrotype is a photograph taken by an early process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor. Though this isn't an actual daguerrotype, I used photoshop to edit the photo and give it the look of a daguerrotype. I took this photo at the Farmer's Market of several bouquets of flowers. It works well as the daguerrotype photo because flowers are timeless, so even though I took this photo recently, it could have been taken in any era.
