Hi, I'm Hakelover but I usually go by Hake. I'm a new editor on Wikipedia so if I make a mistake feel free to point it out. I mostly tend to focus on pointing out articles that lack sourcing and neutrality. I tend to most frequently edit English pages but I do at times correct Danish ones. I also do light translation work for pages which are clearly written in a more robust manner in another language.
I enjoy reading and writing about social science and history but I myself have no degree within these fields. Everything I write is driven purely by these subjects being of interest to me.
I don't mind if my page is edited by other user, all ask is that you remain respectful in doing so.
Jeremiah Gurney (1812–1895) was an American daguerreotype photographer. Initially working in the jewelry trade in Saratoga, New York, he took up photography after learning of daguerreotype from Samuel Morse, moving to New York City where he began selling photographs alongside jewelry. He was one of the earliest photographers in the city, and may have been the owner of the first photographic gallery in the United States. Gurney took this self-portrait photograph around 1869; it is now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.Photograph credit: Jeremiah Gurney; restored by Adam Cuerden
