LEWIS CARROLL Photography Page

Photo of CLD Lewis Carroll became interested in photography in the infancy of this scientific art form. He was a man of infinite patience and one who paid attention to the smallest detail. These qualities were mandatory to be a photographer in the 1850's. The wet collodion process was demanding indeed. It is thought that he gave up photography when the dry developing process came to the fore, because it made photography too easy. Anybody could do that. Where was the challenge? At any rate he is considered one of the best amateur photographers of his time. I think he was a bit of a photography snob. Carroll certainly would chose UNIX over Windows (who wouldn't?).
