Artist of the Week - Louis Daguerre

Daguerre around 1844

View of the Boulevard du Temple, taken by Daguerre in 1838 in Paris, includes the earliest known photograph of a person. The image shows a busy street, but because the exposure had to continue for several minutes the moving traffic is not visible. At the lower right, however, a man apparently having his boots polished, and the bootblack polishing them, were motionless enough for their images to be captured. There is also what appears to be a young girl looking out of a window at the camera.

Daguerreotype = on a mirror-surface. It really is like the image is on a mirror, and the image appears and disappears as you change the angle.

Still life with plaster casts, made by Daguerre in 1837, the earliest reliably dated daguerreotype

Ichiki Shirō's 1857 daguerreotype of Shimazu Nariakira, the earliest surviving Japanese photograph

Photographic Processes Series- Part 1. Before Photography

The Daguerreotype

Daguerreotypes are sharply defined, highly reflective, one-of-a-kind photographs on silvercoated copper plates, usually packaged behind glass and kept in protective cases. The first commercially successful photographic process, the daguerreotype was popular through the 1840s and into the 1850s, especially for portrait photography. They were primarily replaced by less-expensive ambrotypes and tintypes, as well as by the improved negative-positive techniques of collodion-on-glass negatives and albumen silver prints.

How to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Computer

https://www.wikihow.com/Download-Photos-from-Your-iPhone-to-a-Computer

Connect your iPhone to your Windows computer. Plug one end of the iPhone's charging cable into the iPhone's charging port, then plug the USB end into one of your computer's USB ports.

If this is the first time connecting your iPhone to the computer, you will need to tap Trust on the iPhone and then enter your iPhone's passcode or TouchID.

Open iTunes. Its app icon resembles a multicolored musical note on a white background. In order for a Windows computer to recognize an iPhone, you must open iTunes and allow the phone to connect to it.

If you don't have iTunes on your computer, install it before proceeding.
If iTunes prompts you to update it, click Download iTunes when prompted. You'll have to restart your computer after the download finishes.

Wait for the "Device" icon to appear. This iPhone-shaped icon will appear in the upper-left side of the iTunes Library page. Once you see it appear, you can proceed.

It may take several seconds for your iPhone to connect to iTunes.
If the Library tab near the top of the iTunes window isn't highlighted, click it to shift to Library view.

Unlock your iPhone. Once the "Device" icon appears, enter your passcode (or Touch ID, or Face ID) and press the Home button on your iPhone to unlock it.

If prompted, tap Trust on the "Trust this computer?" pop-up before proceeding.

Open Start

. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left

corner of the screen.

Click Photos. You'll usually find this mountain-shaped app icon somewhere in the Start window.

If you don't see Photos here, type in photos and then click Photos at the top of the Start window.

7
Click Import. This tab is in the upper-right side of the Photos window. A drop-down menu will appear.

Click From a USB device. It's in the drop-down menu. Clicking this will prompt your computer to begin scanning your iPhone for photos and videos to import.

If you have more than one USB item plugged in, click your iPhone's name before proceeding.
If Photos prompts you that it can't find a USB item, close and re-open Photos and try again. It may take a couple of tries to get your iPhone to show up here.

Select photos to transfer onto your computer. All of the photos on your iPhone will initially be selected, but you can click the checkmark in the upper-right side of each photo that you don't want to import to prevent it from importing.

You can also click the Unselect all link near the top of the "Select items to import" window to uncheck every photo and then click each photo that you want to import.
If you want to delete the photos you're importing from your iPhone after they're added to your computer, click the Import settings link near the bottom of the window, then check the "Delete items from my device after I import them" box and click Done.

Click Import selected. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will prompt the photos to begin importing into your computer. Once they're finished, you'll see a notification appear in the lower-right corner of your computer's screen, at which point you can detach your iPhone from your computer.
