Having fun with history and photography on Tumblr

I'm not quite sure how I came across this blog but it is....ummm....very interesting. The title of the blog is My Daguerreotype Boyfriend.  The punchline is "where early photography meets extreme hotness." The photos are of men from various periods of history who people think are "hot" or attractive. Information about the photos include the photo's medium, the year the photo was taken and a story regarding that person or group of people in the photo. The photos allow visitors to see what people wore during a certain time period. It also demonstrates the evolution of photography from black and white to sepia tones and color photos.

  1. The thought that Photoshop has been around for so long is very interesting!

  2. That is ridiculous! I guess old-fashioned is now somewhat fashionable in some circles.
