from top to bottom: daguerreotype of an American architect in a metal and leather case, an autochrome stereograph (perhaps of a synagogue somewhere in Europe), an British ambrotype and a lovely tintype.
My days spent at the CCA involve sitting alone in a preservation room in the basement, listening to my ipod and sorting through the photo collection piece by piece in order to update the database. It's lonely but I have podcasts such as Wiretap, Freakonomics, Hatecast, Savage Love and This American Life to keep me company and the weather in Montreal has been so wonky lately that I don't mind the lack of windows. I'm not getting paid for this internship, or "stage" as the francophones call it, but I'm enjoying myself so far.
