Just a joke

The previous post was just a joke, of course.  I have been working with photographing toys, specifically Schleich action figures of knights, etc. Here are some of my creations.

Ancient Photograph Discovered

The Germans not only invented the printing press, led the protestant revolution,  and built the first jet propelled aircraft, they, apparently, also discovered the principles of photography. Here is a photo of an old linen cloth containing a hand tinted emulsion image of what was possibly a scene from the battle of Hohenstaufen Mountain, approximately 1076.  The forces of Frederick I, Duke of Swabia engaged the forces of Lombard.  It is reported that the cloth was recently discovered in the ruins of an old castle near Goppingen.
