Brad, once again, you've displayed a precious gem!!! A photo (snap shot) is for those present to remember times of yesterday... But even more so, especially if accompanied with the story behind the image, a photograph is for future generations... A photo along with a story has the ability to transport the viewer/reader to a place and time lin history that have long past...
I agree completely about a photograph transporting one to another time. I often wonder what happened just before or after a picture was taken. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. :)
I completely agree with what you said at the end of your presentation. I have seven very thick photo albums, and just about every couple of years I will place them on my dining room table and slowly go through each of them. I also have a stack of cd-rw discs holding almost all of the photos I have taken over the years since we began doing this electronically. Guess how often I go through these. Until this video, only once, and that's over thirty to thirty-five years of memory that is basically lost. Please kick me very hard! Thanks, Brad.
There is certainly something special looking through old family photo albums. Through them, I've learned a great deal about relatives I never had the chance to meet and the places they lived. I agree about the photo albums compared to digital. I get bored looking through my old digital photos. I'd much prefer to touch them. :)
❤❤❤ Love this video!!! As a photographer for over 40 years, I understand long exposures and the interesting results you can achieve with it. But, by watching this video, I learned a lot of the history about it that I never knew. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
The Niepce image is nothing short of a Rorschach test. "I see a tree, the sides of two separate buildings, then there's this triangular......" Then the colorization of it completely flips the image to me, confuses me, then I doubt everything. Regarding Daguerre, I thought it was peculiar subject material, not realizing the city was bustling with human activity. What if he could have convinced the entire town to freeze for that 4-5 minute process? What a story surrounding the survival of this historic image. Great job, Brad. Thank you, as always, this was fun!
I plan to scan photos from my mom and dad's collection as a back up to their printed ones. I have scanned high school yearbooks from my husband's school as many people say they have saved them to replaced the originals they've lost. I need to organize the photos I have so they can be enjoyed as well.
I think it's fantastic that you're scanning the original photos. I always push people to write the names of the people in the photo if known or other notes about the photo. Your family will certainly thank you for taking the time to scan all of them. :)
Isn't there an app now that can remove moving objects from a video? I think it uses a similar process -- just keeping the stuff that doesn't move -- like for tourists who want pictures of a famous place without all the other tourists showing up in your pictures.

Another great story, Brad! 1839, WOW!Thank you, Brad and you, Mr Harvey!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ronnie. I certainly enjoyed researching this one. :)

This certainly was an intriguing one. I enjoyed researching the photo. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks, Paul and Brad!!! This story really thrilled me because I am a bootblack!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm curious about you being a bootblack. Tell me more. :)

I'm not sure about the app. I'll have to look into that. :)
