A Moment in Photographic History:
I don’t know the actual day but Francis West, a London optician, advertised the first camera on sale to the public in June 1839.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
The word ‘art’ is very slippery. It really has no importance in relation to one’s work. I work for the pleasure, for the pleasure of the work, and everything else is a matter for the critics.
