Split second preserved forever, the power of authentic photography has no equal. That is why any recreations, mock ups or AI fantasies of the world around us just does not cut it.

On this day in photographic history - May the 6th 1937 - the death of the Hindenburg and the birth of photojournalism.

Eighty-eight years ago today the German passenger Zeppelin 'Hindenburg' - pride of pre-war Germany, explodes and burns while attempting a mooring in the USA.

The accident killed thirty-five of those on board - thirteen passengers and twenty-two crewmen (there were 36 passengers and 61 crewmen on the airship) an individual on the ground also died.

Belarus born photographer Sam Shere was one of those present and took this image on his Speed Graphic camera.

This is widely regarded as the first disaster to have been extensively covered photographically, and helped give birth to the notion of photojournalism.

It is also, of course, and image that has been extensively re-used, adapted, and parodied. (the cover of Led Zeppelin's debut album being a, prime example)

I can attest to all of these, add to it seeing the wedding couple off as they drive away with cans attached to their bumper :)

Will you miss them? Wedding traditions that are slowly being forgotten Image: Aranprime Love, family, and centuries-old customs. Not all of those traditions are making it to the altar anymore, though. Some were born from superstition, others from practicality, and a few from trends that have, well,....

I do so love the before after, then now, rephotographed scenes even if original is a painting pre dating photography :) It is a challenge to get in the same spot and trying to replicate the angle, the lighting and the lens that was used back in the day.

It is incredible what story two pictures, put side by side, can tell us. And what a difference decades or hundreds of years can make to our landscapes, architecture, and overall history. History, Photography & Digital Art

Happy (posthumous) birthday Kodachrome - gone but not forgotten...

On this day, the 15th of April, 1935 Kodak introduced the first practical subtractive colour process film - Kodachrome - based on the research of professional musicians, and keen photographers, Leopold Godowsky and Leonard Mannes.

Sadly a slice of photographic history that will never return. ...

He knew old news is old news ๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ

Remembering Arthur (Usher) Fellig, who died on this day, December the 26th, in 1968.

Better know by his pseudonym Weegee - a name said to have either derived from his time working as a darkroom assistant (where he was nicknamed 'Squeegee') or from the phonetic spelling of Ouija (as in Ouija Board) a name given to him by fellow photographers and the local police due to his apparent ability to predict where and when the best street & crime photos were to be had (of course owning a police band radio also helped ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Photographer and photojournalist Weegee was known for his stark black and white street photography on the streets of New York.

You can view some great examples of his work via the link that I'll add in the comments section.

Whatever kit you are hauling around today - have fun and go easy on the ci**rs ๐Ÿ‘....

The once-mighty camera giant was actually an early pioneer of digital tech, and if it wasn't for the iPhone things could have been so differentโ€ฆ
