1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

Have your portrait made by an expert photographic artist and photo historian! Learn all about the history of photography and how images were made over 170 years ago! I use an antique handmade process from 1851 and antique cameras to craft you a portrait to mark your trip here to California. Watch as I make the photograph using chemistry and antique cameras that way your great grandparents had their portrait made. Take home your unique photo and family heirloom that will outlast the next generation of your family!
