amymckinney:

it was a man shining another man’s shoes on the corner.
photojojo:

This may be the first photo of a human being ever (check out NPR’s super interesting article).

It’s a Paris boulevard photographed by Louis Daguerre (of Daguerrotype fame).

The exposure was so long that it could only capture people who stood still. The man in the corner happened to be standing still.
