Photographer taking pictures using the daguerreotype technique

The image was not generated well, as it does not show work with glass plates, but... after earlier attempts-monsters (if you know what a mean), I breathed a sigh of relief, Own this is what it used to look like to take pictures - complicated lenses, the need for a stable position, the limitations of black and white in colors and the number of pictures with a roll of film. Such greater attentiveness as today, not mindless snapping.
