First photograph ever?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_page_id=1965&in_article_id=564402

It might be a little out of focus, and need a bit of work on the composition.

But this image of a leaf has been hailed as 'priceless' by experts who believe it could be the world's first photograph.

The red picture had previously been attributed to Henry Fox Talbot, who is credited with taking the world's first photographs in the 1830s.

But some believe this image may have been created in the last years of the 18th century - more than 30 years earlier.

4. Everything that's commonplace now had to be a first at one time. :)

2. Bullshit. The first photograph in the world is a cat. It'll be a dead cat, because
exposures took up to a half hour back then, but it'll be a cat. When they find it.

You heard it here first.
