A Moment in Photographic History:
On August 5, 1978 inventor Victor Hasselblad died in Göteborg, Sweden. Three guess what he invented and the first two guesses don`t count.
Like many great inventions, his 6×6 cm single-lens reflex camera was invented for war.  In 1940 Hasselblad constructed his camera as a air reconnaissance camera for the Swedish Air Force.  Prices have dropped a lot so now you can now pick up a H3DII-50MS Digital Camera for under $34,000. Of course that does not include taxes and shipping. On the other hand, it does come with some killer software.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.  – - – - – -  Edward Weston
