The Will to Selfie . . .

I am filing this under 'The Good Stuff you find on Facebook', but he still has a lot to answer for.

Blurb from Facebook:

"In 1839, Robert Cornelius sat for 15 minutes in front of a hand-built camera made of opera glass and sheets of copper. His picture became the first “selfie” ever taken."

Grim . . . but beautiful.

Another Piggy Back Post

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the Nick Heyward pic is from this old BBC Story advertising a photographic exhibition that was entitled 'Made in UK: 10 Years of British pop '76 - '86'.

The photographer exhibited, Janette Beckman, has a rather fine website that should be checked out at your leisure.
