So far, this lecture was probably the one that i connected with the least. When it comes to learning new processes or past processes, which were discussed in this lecture, I like a more practical approach.
Here is what is thought to be the first ever photograph taken. It was interesting to see how much of a significant improvement there has been in photographic equipment, and processes, as this image was thought to of taken around eight hours to develop.
Apparently, local portrait painters became photographers. This kick started photography's popularity.
One person in particular who caught my attention, was Julia Cameron. It is said that she had access to famous people, and explored different types of lighting. I am going to research her and her creations further, as I feel she was a key photographer in the development of the medium (or so I hear from the stories so far...)
