My quote of the week:


"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Louis Daguerre 1787-1851

Louis was a initially a French inventor who was a scene painter for the opera and in 1822 opened an exhibit of viewings that he created that were affected by changes in lighting. In 1826 Nicephore found out all about what Daguerre was doing and in 1829 signed a partnership with Louis. Sadly it was a very short one, due to Nicephore's death in 1833. After Nicephore's death however Louis continued experimenting. And 1835, an accident happened a very important accident as some of the most famous inventions happen. Louis discovered that by exposing an iodized silver plate (which he had placed in his chemical cupboard) that a image had developed on the plate. The description of this process was announced at the Academy of Sciences.
