Cafe La Vie

Café La Vie

Heading out for some morning coffee in San Francisco? Stop by Café La Vie for an Americano and a peak at some of my daguerreotypes on the wall. It’s a great little hang out on Octavia St. Up through the month of August.

I also have 6 ambrotypes on display at the Modernbook Gallery for the month of August. Located right on Palo Alto's bustling University Avenue, the unique space caters to the whims of contemporary culture and lifestyle. They describe themselves as "a curated boutique disguised as a bookstore and art gallery."

New Site design...

This is intended to give more emphasis on the aspects of TheDagLab as a professional daguerreotype studio while allowing SweatNapper.com to be the source for all new images both professional and artistic.
