A Moment in Photographic History:
Thomas Wedgwood was born May 14, 1771. In 1802, Wedgwood (together with Sir Humphrey Davy) presented a paper entitled “An account of a method of copying paintings upon glass and of making profiles by the agency of light upon nitrate of silver.” They almost made a successful photograph except they failed to fix the image.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
A photograph is a time capsule that extends from the past to the future.
