An iGents in History Moment: First Picture of a Human

[AlanC]

The first ever picture of a human? He was getting his shoes shined.

Awesome. I love historical photos.

I wonder if they were AE Seconds.

Win!

Interesting....I wonder what the 2nd ever picture of a human being is?

^A closeup of the guy wearing the newly shined shoes. They subsequently realized there was no Internet to post on. Thus after a blazing start, iGent photography was set back 175 years.

I assume pornography.

Fittingly human, I reckon.

Two humans then, one shining and one being shined.

Thanks for the pic.

My thoughts as well. Why should the shinee get all the credit?

I call BS on this photo. I am sure there is a pic of Daguerrocock somewhere predating this.

I'm fairly certain by about a dozen pictures in, 8 of them were photos young maidens took of themselves by facing a a highly polished piece of bronze.

3 others were Appreciation.
