Eye of the Storm

Posted by

A Moment in Photographic History:
Scottish photographer George Washington Wilson died March 9, 1893.
Wilson constructed a portable darkroom so that he could prepare his wet-collodian" which had to be exposed while still wet.
Wilson also became the largest photographic publisher in the world, producing millions of cartes-de-visite, postcards and stereograms for tourists, as well as portraits for exhibition.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important.

Scrolling from base up I fell from a cat's furcoat into a horse's eye! What an inspired crop!
And the information about Wilson....most interesting!
I beg to differ....as much as as I respect Bresson.......but those "technical aspects" have given access to photography even to people like me and many, many more!
