The Birth of Photography
The birthday of William Henry Fox Talbot was a few days ago. He was the inventor of several early photographic processes, most notably the first to produce a print on paper from a photographic negative. The first photo here is perhaps the first print from a negative, made by Talbot in 1835.

As something of a pilgrimage, I was able to visit Talbot's home, Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, England in 1993 and photographed the same scene with then state-of-the-art camera (Nikon 8008) and film (35mm E6 Fuji Velvia slide), scanned, and processed in Adobe Photoshop.
