Viewing Life From Safety
The Invisible Man - Two Step Stride

A Moment in Photographic History:
Colourful French caricaturist and portrait photographer and balloonist Gaspard-Felix Tournachon was born April 5, 1820. He took the professional name of Nadar. He combined his interest in photography with balloon flying and in 1858 he became the first to take pictures from the air. The balloon had its own darkroom. Two years later capped this by photographing the Paris sewers, using electric light.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
The theory of photography can be taught in an hour; the first ideas of how to go about it in a day. What can't be taught... is the feeling for light - the artistic appreciation of effects produced by different...sources; it's the understanding of this or that effect following the lines of the features which required your artistic perception.
