Ok so a long time ago on a field trip to Washing D.C. I learned about something called Daguerreotype. It was developed by a man by the name of Louis Daguerre. He actually stumbled upon it by accident in 1835. (lucky for is right??). The rights were bought by the French government in 1839. After the process was fixed in 1837.
So the first successful form of Photographic processing was discovered by accident.
Crazy. Or at least I think so. I mean I guess that is how most things happen. But I’m super stoked that Louis D. did.
The subject of this process had to stay still for up to 20 minutes.
Can you imagine trying to get a kid to stay still that long….
I don’t think so!
But thank goodness for all of the super cool people who created, improved, and created again. Or else, we photographers and artist wouldn’t be able to process the world the way that we most times do. Also looking through a view finder with the rule of thirds(even when there is no camera in hand)
TGIF!
One day, one day.
