Well, here’s a pretty mind-blowing fact about one of the very first photographs ever taken that actually <em>shows a human being</em>!</p> <p>Imagine this: it&rsquo;s 1838 in Paris, and a brilliant inventor named Louis Daguerre is trying to capture the world on a metal plate. He sets up his camera to take a picture of a busy street, the &lsquo;Boulevard du Temple.&rsquo; Now, back then, cameras weren&rsquo;t quick at all. We&rsquo;re talking exposure times that could last for several minutes, sometimes even up to 10 or 15!</p>
