"She Did That"

I had a chance to see a screening of ‘She Did That’ at my new base of operations the Gentleman’s Factory. This film is awesome and inspiring. ‘She Did That’ is Renae Bluitt’s first cinematic project that explores the passionate pursuits of Black women and their entrepreneurship journeys. An extension of Renae's In Her Shoes blog, 'She Did That.' offers an intimate peek inside the lives of four Black women entrepreneurs who continuously raise the glass ceiling for future generations. Check it out and enjoy the photos.

History: The First Photo

I have always been fascinated by the history and tale of the first surviving photo. When photographers hear the sound of the shutter "click," they often take for granted the long history and development of photography. The first photograph was taken in 1826 or 1827. It is called the “View from the Window at Le Gras”  by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. The “click" time or shutter speed was 8 or more hours. It is funny to think that this experiment from a French inventor allows me to take such beautiful photos today.
