Contemporary Daguerreotypes (http://cdags.org) was an online collective of twenty-first-century daguerreotypists formed by Alan Bekhuis in 2008. In 2012, Bekhuis and the collective organized IO-1(Image Objects Exhibition vol.1) at the Penumbra Foundation, New York, featuring thirty-three daguerreotypists from sixteen countries. In 2020, with around eighty individuals from twenty countries as its members, the site ceased updating. It was a hub for discussing the medium and sharing technical information that provided an invaluable resource for those interested in the process. This website aims to build upon the foundations laid by Bekhuis and reinvigorate the community with another outstanding international event.
