    The kid clearly moved instead of staying still for the photo!

    This has happened I think to all of us trying to capture children. They move and you end up with an image much like this one. What an honor it is to view these images from the 1800's. So impressed with the quality and integrity of the images taken over a hundred years ago.

    How many of our photos will be around in a hundred year's time?

    So happy I'm not the only one with a child that moves during picture's. But even beyond that the expressions on their faces tell the story as well.

    awesome!
  • David Badagnani said:
    I'd like to know the story behind this picture--why does this sheep have a name, and why was a photograph of him commissioned? Is he particularly eminent or distinguished in some way?
  • David Badagnani said:
    OK, just found the link above: " Shown here is the most common variety of sheep in the Scottish Borders and Highlands - the Scottish Blackface. Their wool is highly prized for its hardwearing qualities and the Blackface horns add a distinctive look to walking sticks and shepherds' crooks. Photographs of livestock were not uncommon during the turn of the century, as landowners took pride in their husbandry. The side view gives us a clear idea of the physical qualities of the breed: the long thick fleece, the curvy horns, the black face and the magnificent posture. "
