internet/daguerreotype

Dear Internet,



Hey it's me, the Daguerreotype. I know that to you, I am one of the many things

that you seem to know everything about. But to me, I have found that we truly

have a lot in common. Like you, I paved the way for my chosen field. Like the

way you have made so many things possible for communication, I have made

great things happen in the world of photography. You have had a great deal of

success in all that you do. You connect people to information, to different

places, and also to each other. Since I came around, the world of photography

has taken off. So many advancements have been made to make photography a

more universal medium of art but also a medium that can communicate. It has

been said, "a picture is worth a thousand words". A photograph, and evolved

version of myself, can communicate so many different ideas and viewpoints, all

within itself, one singular image. These images can be found in so many places

now. There are photographs in books, magazines, and computers. However one

of the biggest venues for photographs is with you, the Internet. So you see, we

are much more connected than you may have thought. In fact, in many ways, I

owe my evolved popularity to you. You make it possible for myself, as well as

other types of photographs to reach a surplus of different people. So for that I

thank you. Without you my work could not reach as many people as it can today.



Best,

The Daguerreotype
