So in honor of World Photography Day on Friday August 19th, I wanted to share some Fun Foto Facts! Then I thought "Hey why not have a daily fun facts blog"! Let's do this thing then!
First Fun Foto Fact!
1839 marked the year photography was invented through 2 processes: The Daguerreotype, created by Louis Daguerre, and William Fox Talbot's, Calotype process. The Daguerreotype process was introduced first by The French Academy of Science in January (Calotype would not be introduced for another 2 years) and on August 19th, 1839, the French government announces the invention as a gift "Free to the World".
