The first photograph of a person was an accident

Louis Daguerre took the first photograph of a living person. He intended to take a picture of a boulevard. The man in the picture, a shoe shiner, stood in one position for so long that despite the long exposure, he appeared in the photo.

Fascinating how the first photograph of a person was captured by accident! It goes to show how sometimes the most remarkable discoveries happen unexpectedly. It's a reminder to always stay open to new possibilities, even when things don't go as planned.
