Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
If you click on the link at the right about Frederick Scott Archer you can read a fascinating story about a man who generously gave this ground breaking process free to the world. Maybe it is because I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics but I was reminded of Tim Berners-Lee and his generosity.

Thanks Michael lets give this man the recognition he deserves.
If any BPH members happen to be in London, do drop by Kensal Green cemetery to visit his grave whereby a new plaque was unveiled by a group of artists known as The Collodion Collective, back in May 2010, in honour of him. You can read more about it in this BPH posting here.
