Cat-007 [Big Boss Cuts] Take-5 <☆>
Comments made on Photography ...
By the 1840s, photographers began to look to the city for inspiration. Cliffs and valleys were replaced by buildings and streets in vivid depictions of the urban environment. William Henry Fox Talbot is widely recognised as the inventor of modern photography. During the 1840s, Talbot photographed many scenes in London. A monument to Admiral Lord Nelson was first suggested in 1805, the year of his death, but it was not completed until 1843. Talbot's photograph, taken from an upstairs window in Cockspur Street, shows Nelson's Column still surrounded by scaffolding.
The Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 ‘to promote the Art and Science of Photography’, a mission it continues to this day in the United Kingdom and through its considerable overseas membership.

The polls are the biggest test of public opinion since 2005's general election - and will be Tony Blair's last as Labour leader.

All of the parties are out in force on Wednesday, with the contest expected to be particularly fierce between Labour and the SNP in Scotland.
Labour is also battling to regain control of the Welsh assembly.
Labour's opponents have urged voters to use Thursday's polls to issue a verdict on Tony Blair's 10 years in power.
'Mood'
But Blair, who is expected to announce his resignation next week, has urged voters to resist the temptation to give him one final "kicking" at the ballot box.
During his final campaign visit to Scotland on Tuesday, Mr Blair warned that the SNP, which has pledged a referendum on independence, would cause "chaos and instability"...
