They say that we Photographers are a blind race at best; that we learn to look at even the prettiest faces as so much light and shade; that we seldom admire, and never love. This is a delusion I long to break through - if I could only find a young lady to photograph, realising my ideal of beauty... I feel sure that I could shake off this cold, philosophic lethargy.
from "A Photographer's Day Out" by Charles Dodgson, 1860
Charles Dodgson is more commonly known as Lewis Carroll. As well as writing Alice in Wonderland, Carroll was also a mathematician, logician and photographer. You can see some of his work here.
