Week 2's Discussion 

This week, we learn of the birth of daguerreotype and its commercially success during 1839-1860. Daguerreotype was later superseded by less expensive photographic processes, such as Ambrotype by Frederick Scott Archer; however, daguerreotype made its milestone in history photography with many wonderful portraits of people around the world in the late 19th century.

Please honor our photography inventors by submitting 1-2 good portrait of your love ones for this week discussion.  See the samples of daguerreotype, pay attention on background, body gesture, face expression, and use window lighting as possible.
