A Sad Story

Imagine this. A old church. Someone broke the very old stained glass windows. Now I am not a religious church going type but I think it is a shame that a piece of history gets vandalized like that.

A Moment in Photographic History:
Another first. Antoine Florence, a French-Brazilian photographer and inventor, was born February 29, 1804. He has a couple of firsts. One is that he was another inventor of a negative/positive process. Another first is that he referred to his process, in French, as photographie in 1834, at least four years before John Herschel coined the English word photography.

A Photographic Quote of Note:

The subject matter is so much more important than the photographer.
