Jalo et al.,

The most up-to-date source for info. on the happenings in modern daguerreotypy is the following website:
http://www.cdags.org/

There, you will find individual on-line galleries from 74 modern daguerreotypists (myself included), although only a small fraction of us make daguerreotypes on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, there isn't a section on cdags.org that lists where modern daguerreotypes are currently being exhibited, or which dealers in a particular city have them for sale.  It would be a good idea if they had such a section, and I'm going to suggest to the cdags.org list owners that they start one.

Most fine art photography dealers aren't keen on daguerreotypes (a subject for another time) so you won't find very many dealers that have them.  Alex Novak (http://www.vintageworks.net/) from Chalfont, PA is the exception to the rule and represents several modern daguerreians.

My gallery in Buffalo, NY has a permanent exhibit space for daguerreotypes (mine and vintage examples) and is probably the first permanent space dedicated exclusively to the daguerreotype in over 130 years.

Daguerreian Regards,
