At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, a spectacular group photograph was captured, likely one that will be challenging to replicate today: The Making of The Most Intelligent Photograph Ever https://www.thephoblographer.com/2025/01/13/the-making-of-the-most-intelligent-photograph-ever/ #PhotographyHistory
“The Flatiron,” 1904, photographer: Edward J. Steichen (1879–1973). Gum bichromate over platinum print. As a photograph, it is held in more than one collection, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. #arthistory #photography #photographyhistory
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art: ‘“The Flatiron" is the quintessential chromatic study of twilight. Clearly indebted in its composition to the Japanese woodcuts that were in vogue at the turn of the century and in its coloristic effect to the "Nocturnes" of Whistler, this picture is a prime example of the conscious effort of photographers in the circle of Alfred Stieglitz to assert the artistic potential of their medium.’
The serene beauty of Park van Saint-Cloud captures a moment suspended in time, with the ruins of the castle adding a layer of nostalgia. How does this blend of nature and architecture resonate with you?

I've been examining the history of early photography in some recent blog posts.
Over the last couple of years I have reacquainted myself with film photography and some old - really old - cameras, and have become curious about the history of the process.
I enjoy carrying a film camera with me, usually with black and white film that I can develop at home. Sometimes I develop it with a coffee based developer! Sometimes.
If you're curious, check out the most recent post where I look at the societal impact of even early mid-19th century photography.

The cyanotype, invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, was one of the first methods to use sunlight in photography! 💙☀️ Explore the striking blue hues that have made it a lasting art form. #PhotographyHistory #Cyanotype
In the early 1900s, Jessie Tarbox Beals courageously captured night scenes using flash powder and a hefty 50-pound 8x10 camera. In the 1930s, Brassai documented a vibrant Parisian nightlife. Today, contemporary photographers remain captivated by the twilight canvas. @Flipboard photography curator in residence @stellakalaw has curated a beautiful Storyboard on night photography. Check it out!

@aakoskin i saw this one https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FUJIC_1956_National_Museum_of_Nature_and_Science_1.jpg
Not to insult the original photographer, but not exactly a good enough picture. Lighting is not uniform & overall doesn’t put the subject in context quite like the picture i posted. Maybe somebody lives near the museum & looking for something to #photograph this weekend

Does anyone have a picture of Japan’s first digital computer, the FUJiC? It is on exposition at the National Science Museum in Tokyo. Looking for a good picture with a straightforward CC license.
The research to design the computer started in 1949, and manufacturing started in 1952. Photographic lenses were designed based on the computations staring in 1956.
