Not really certain of the date or location. My Grandpa's nick name was Jinx, and at one point he went around shoeing horses.
Not true exactly, Paul. I have a full photo of my 3rd great grandfather on his horse, taken prior to 1865, as he died in a Union Prison Camp during the Civil War in 1863.

"Early studio daguerreotypes required long exposure times, ranging from three to fifteen minutes, making the process highly impractical for portraiture. By 1840, improvements to the daguerreotype process enabled photographers to make portraits in a matter of seconds. Popularity of the daguerreotype declined in the late 1850s when the ambrotype, a faster and less expensive photographic process, became available."
Just an fyi, for anyone trying to date their photos! :-)
