Amongst other grammatical errors, you have the phrase “Photographer, , …” in a number of places. The comma after “Photographer” is incorrect.

Also, in the sentence “However, in the lower left of the photograph we can see a man standing and getting his shoe’s polished.” there should be no apostrophe in “shoes”.

Barring these jarring issues, an otherwise interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

First aerial photograph was of Providence, RI, made a month or two before Boston. (Also done by Mr. Black.) See http://www.moma.org/collection/object.php?object_id=57657

It was all fine until I saw the picture of the first fraud in chief. It ruined the whole collection

Wtf, do you guys not have copy editors? “shoe’s”, than vs then… I know it’s not the Times, but one would hope your journalistic standards are a little higher than a high schooler’s first draft of a book report.

There is a bit of debate on how long the photograph took, search a dozen sites and you will find a few different answers. Usually, it is noted between 5 and 10 minutes.

Tiny addition: Tornado is not a cyclone. Cyclone = typhoon = hurricane = huge.
Both are whirling and devastating but on a different size and in their own way.

#5. The First Photograph of a Person

It is cited that the exposure lasted around seven minutes, but in the article referenced by the link, the same photo is said to have taken 10 minutes…. Hmph.
