My sister sent me a link to this amazing article about a distant relative of ours who was the first person to Ever take a photograph of a human being, which was in fact a self portrait.  The correlation between what he did and what my sister Taylor has perfected with the Aluma-type process is simply something out of the Twilight Zone!
