A Moment in Photographic History:
Samuel Morse was born April 27, 1791. This American artist and inventor was best known for developing Morse Code for signalling but during a visit to France in 1838, Morse met Louis Daguerre. Morse was one of the first to use daguerreotypes in the United States. His pictures of his class reunion, taken in 1840, is the first known group portrait. With exposures of 10 to 20 minutes it must have been a bit of a trial.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
A technically perfect photograph can be the world’s most boring picture.
