I was playing around on National Geographic's website and saw this image that MEJ showed us last class of the bullet going through the apple- a moment that perfected high-speed stroboscopic photography. After clicking on it, it took me through a neat timeline of the history of photography which I found interesting. Some of these photos I have seen many times (the image of the Afghan girl's piercing green eyes), but others I had either never seen, or never fully understood their magnitude and the milestone they represented. It was incredible to see the images they were able to create at such a primitive stage of the camera.
Just thought it was worth checking out!

I like that the first person ever photographed was a fluke.
