An ode to the creator of photography!

To the inventor of the first ever camera a.k.a the daguerreotype

To the human being who understood chemistry and actually used it

To the person who worked tirelessly, figuring out how many grams of mercury should be heated for the exposures to turn out and not actually vanish after 30 minutes.

To the guy who made it possible for us to see Abraham Lincoln, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain and many others in the 1800’s

To the father who made “Kodak moments” achievable

To Mr. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre…

THANK YOU!
