  2. ABOUT TALBOT • Talbot was an intellectual, a mathematician, philosopher, classicist, Egyptologist, transcriber, & translator.

  3. TALBOT IDEAS • Talbot wanted to get away from the ideas of mental pictures & all of the fuss that had to do with it. His idea was to coat a piece of paper with a light-sensitive silver compound & place it onto a camera with the sensitive side facing the lens. • The compound had to be kept in darkness before it was used in order to work, applied to the paper in a dim room, & stored in a light-tight environment while it wasn’t being used.

  4. WHO INSPIRED HIM • Talbot was inspired by Thomas Wedgwood, who did a process very similar to Talbot’s forty years before hand. • Unlike Wedgwood, Talbot knew how to remove the remaining unexposed silver compound from all of his prints after they were developed.

  5. TALBOT’S PHOTOGRAPHS & TECNIQUES • He used his paper as not just a photograph but rather as a negative. • He was able to use the paper negative to create multiple copies of positive prints. • He would treat another piece of paper with the silver compound & then after that, place the first developed negative paper on top of the new one. He would put the two together in a glass, then expose the frame to light.
