A Moment in Photographic History:
On November 2, 1903 Alfred Harmsworth founded a “Woman’s Paper” called the London Daily Mirror which was the first newspaper to use photography exclusively for its illustrations.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
The camera for an artist is just another tool. It is no more mechanical than a violin if you analyze it. Beyond the rudiments, it is up to the artist to create art, not the camera.
