Guarding the Net

I was taking pictures of kids playing hockey. Whichever end I was at, the action was at the other.

A Moment of Photographic History:
Hippolyte Bayard was born January 20, 1807.
Bayard was one of the earliest of photographers. His invention of photography actually preceded that of Daguerre. On June 24, 1839 he displayed thirty of his photographs, and thus at least goes into the record books as being the first person to hold a photographic exhibition. However Francois Arago (a friend of Daguerre and who was seeking to promote his invention) persuaded him to postpone publishing details of his work. When Bayard eventually gave details of the process to the French Academy of Sciences on 24 February 1840, he had lost the opportunity to be regarded as the inventor of photography.

I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.
