William Henry Fox Talbot. [Click on this for more information.]
Modern photography was conceived by a brilliant man who not only developed it technically, but also used it gloriously to make pictures and wrote philosophically and poetically about its potential. In the history of photography there is no more seminal a figure than William Henry Fox Talbot and no photographs more compelling than the earliest photographs made. — Gail Buckland, p. 12
