It never ceases to amaze me what extraordinary vision some people poses.
I have just started to read "Capturing the Light" by Roger Watson and Helen Rappaport.
On the first page I was taken back by this.
In a letter to the editor of the Literary Gazette in 1839, Henry Fox Talbot said,
"I hope it will be borne in mind by those who take an interest in this subject, (he was referring to photography) that in what I have hitherto done, I do not profess to have perfected an Art, but to have commenced one; the limits of which it is not possible at present exactly to ascertain. I only claim to have based this new Art upon a secure foundation: it will be for more skilful hands than mine to rear the superstructure.
Look where we are now
