If You're Going to Kansas City, Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Daguerre(otype)

Getting an early start on your holiday shopping for the art director or photo editor who has everything? How about a nice daguerreotype portrait? Contemporary daguerreotypist Rob McElroy will be on hand at this year’s Daguerreian Society Symposium, which runs from Thursday through Sunday at the newly Steven Hollified Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, and he’ll be pleased to preserve your likeness in that eerie, mirrory, unduplicatable format that took the 1840s by storm.
