Be advised this presentation has many errors in it. Consider the source, The George Eastman House, they had all of what they describe, yet never really bothered to safe guard nor develop the collection. It ended up at the University of Texas Austin where again it was not taken seriously until the 'world' discovered the importance that photography is to the history of the modern world.

Here is a note to consider. English clergy men who were considered 'natural scientists' were making permanent images from the solar microscope some 10 to 20 years prior to the 'official' invention of photography. We have this evidence in many of their journal entries, ye the 'historians' seem to be oblivious to this knowledge.

The world needs and deserves a complete rewrite for the history of photography. Photographers need to be the corner stone of that rewrite, but lots of luck with that.

Nice. We take so much for granted. If I had to do what was required in the old days, I don't think I would.

Thanks for an interesting excursion into the history of photography. We have had numerous exchanges on this forum about how this or that camera is inferior, (perhaps a foveon, for example) or isn't mirrorless, or uptodate in some manner and not worth considering . Yet when I look at many to the examples of photographs shown in the video, I can't help but think that if a member had posted these images, he or she would have been praised by many of us for having submitted a wonderful picture. All this helps verify for me, that if you usually want to know if a photograph is a good one, simply look at image itself.
