Photograph below taken by Daguerre, in 1838 showing the first image of human being captured in photograph. It is a view of the Boulevard du Temple in Paris showing a man having his shoe shined in lower left part of the image. This is mentioned to be a very busy street at the time, but the method used by Daguerre to capture the photo (Daguerrotype) at that time requires exposure rate of about 10 minutes causing all the moving object in the picture to be not visible. Only that guy (which seems to be having his shoe shined) stands long enough for his pic tu be taken so became the first human being ever captured in a photograph. Epic.
The exact same spot today viewed via Google Map.
Interesting, isn't it?
