Profile Information

I was a student of Bill Jay At Arizona State University, 1975-79. His skill and interest as an educator enabled and facilitated my desire to make daguerreotypes, which I've been doing and teaching ever since. Bill opened my eyes to the history of photography, which in it's many facets is my life's work.

I'm interested in anything daguerreotype, and in early color processes including Hillotype and autochrome.

Born and raised in Hawaii, I have a specific interest in early Hawaiian photography.

I'm glad to be welcomed aboard!

Ken
