A Moment in Photographic History:
Frederick E. Ives born 1856, 17 February 17, 1856, was a United States photographer and inventor. In 1888 he demonstrated the first practical means of projecting three colour positives on a screen and then patented a 3-colour camera in 1892. He had many inventions important to colour photography and printing. Because he failed to patent most of his inventions, he never profited. He demonstrated the transmission of black and white photographs over telephone wires in 1924 and then colour pictures in 1929. Ives also invented the first practical artificial-daylight photo-light.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.
