"Photography is a marvellous discovery, a science that has attracted the greatest intellects, an art that excites the most astute minds and one that can be practiced by any imbecile... Photographic theory can be taught in an hour, the basic technique in a day. But what cannot be taught is the feeling for light... It is how light lies on the face that you as artist must capture."

Nadar AKA Gaspard Félix Tournachon, 1856
