A Moment in Photographic History:
On August 5, 1978 inventor Victor Hasselblad died in Göteborg, Sweden. Three guess what he invented and the first two guesses don`t count.
Like many great inventions, his 6x6 cm single-lens reflex camera was invented for war. In 1940 Hasselblad constructed his camera as a air reconnaissance camera for the Swedish Air Force.
You can now pick up a Hasselblad H3D II-39MS Digital Camera for under $44,000. Of course that does not include taxes and shipping. On the other hand, it does come with some killer software.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
