[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 183798, member: 15426"] • [COLOR="#0000CD"][I] "La photographie est une découverte merveilleuse, une science qui occupe les intelligences les plus élevées, un art qui aiguise les esprits les plus sagaces et dont l’application est à la portée du dernier des imbéciles." [CENTER]— Félix Tournachon, dit Nadar (1857)[/CENTER][/I][/COLOR] [I]"Photography is a wonderful discovery, a science which occupies the highest intelligences, an art which sharpens the most sagacious minds and whose application is to reach the last fools." [CENTER]— Félix Tournachon, aka Nadar (1857)[/CENTER][/I] ••• Hello everyone, This was said more then 150 years ago! At the time, there were no "auto everything" cameras. • If Nadar called them "last fools" then… what would he call them today? • Aware that he could not know the future developments in photography, do you think this judgement would still apply today? What do you say? [/QUOTE]
