Showing Restraint

Just getting away from the musicians for a bit.

A Photographic History Note:
Henry Fox Talbot, upon hearing of the announcement made in Paris Academy of Sciences of Louis Daguerre’s photographic discovery, quickly prepared a paper on the subject for immediate publication in weekly journals and for submission to the Royal Society.  His paper describing his success with his print-out process a few years previously was read at the Royal Society meeting of 31 January 1839.

    The shadow works for me, it is always nice to look around and find interesting shapes, the way you made this composition really works for me!
