My interest in and practice of photography date to around 1962. In 1973 my photographic interest turned to the history of photography and early photographic processes. I produced my first daguerréotypes in 1974 (without ever having seen one) and although I also succeeded in obtaining images from the camera by means of other early photographic processes, the charming process of M. Daguerre had won a place in my heart not shared by others. It remains to this day my primary avenue of photographic expression. --Tom Young.
