Today was my first trip on the road with the daguerreotype equipment in the Honda Element. Everything went well and I only forgot one thing, my light meter.

Sensitized two half plates before I left for downtown Oakland. The first test shot is of the Lionel J. Wilson building and came out pretty good, decided to keep it.

By the time I got to my second exposure the sun changed quite a bit and a large shadow moved across the building.

During the winter I think I’ll try and be a little mobile… SF is next.
