A brief history of photography

A brief history of photography

• 4th century BCE: Chinese invented the camera obscura (a darkened room with a hole in the drapes that projects an image of the outside world onto a distant wall).
• Late 1700s: Thomas Wedgwood (1771-1805) and Sir Humphry Davy (1778–1829), two English scientists, carried out early experiments trying to record images on light-sensitive paper. Their photos were not permanent: they turned black unless permanently stored in a dark place.
• 1827: French Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833) made the world's first photographs. His method was no good for taking portraits of people because the camera shutter had to be left open for eight hours.
• 1839: French opera-house scene painter Louis Daguerre (1787–1851) announced the invention of photos on silver plates that became known as daguerreotypes.
• 1839: William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877) invented the photographic negative process.
• 1851: British artist and photographer Frederick Scott Archer (1813-1857) invented a way of taking pin-sharp photos onto wet glass plates.
• 1870s: British physician Dr Richard Maddox (1816-1902) developed a way of taking photos using dry plates and gelatin.
• 1883: American inventor George Eastman (1854-1932) invented the modern photographic film.
• 1888: George Eastman launched his easy-to-use Kodak camera. His slogan was: "You push the button and we do the rest."
• 1947: Edwin Land (1909-1991) invented the instant polaroid camera.
• 1963: Edwin Land invented the color polaroid camera.
• 1990s: Digital cameras started to become popular, gradually making film cameras obsolete.
• 2000s: Advanced cellphones with built-in digital cameras began to make standalone digital cameras redundant for everyday snapshot photography.

Pieter Hugo's "Permanent Error" - British Journal of Photography

Non esistono più le mezze stagioni.

Ho appena sentito in radio Toscani dire che le modelle sono per chi non ha fantasia.
Poi pero' la moglie e' una danese.
E' proprio vero, non esistono piu' le mezze stagioni.
Chiaramente lui di sfizi se ne e' tolti tanti.
