A Moment in Photographic History:
Irish portrait photographer James Lafayette (James Stack Lauder) died August 20, 1923).  He specialized in society photographs. I think my favourite is of Sarah Bernhardt when she played Hamlet ( a performance I would have loved to have seen.)
A Photographic Quote of Note:
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
