[alt-photo] Re: Daguerreotypes as contact prints?

[francis schanberger]

I believe some of Adam Fuss' daguerreotypes from 1999 "My Ghost" are
camera-less. You may have to produce a positive transparency instead of
negative for contact printing or the viewing angle of the daguerreotype
might be awkward for presentation.
