a man who just so happened to stay somewhat still during the shot — he was having his shoes shined.

Bull! It's Captain Morgan. Check out the tricornered hat. "Arrrrrrr!"

Interesting to see the rows of trees planted down the boulevard. Not much different from today.

Interesting to think most of the people in the photo were moving too “fast” for their image to appear on the film. It’s sort of like that Original Series Star Trek episode “Wink of an Eye”, where the inhabitants move so quickly, they are unseen.

To me it looks like the guy in the photo is giving someone a stompdown. Typical street violence in Paris. Nothing to see here...

There are some daguerreotypes of the last few surviving Revolutionary war veterans taken in the early 1840’s and the first presidential photo of an aging Andrew Jackson. The president was so impressed with the daguerreotype process that he had the federal government pay to have daguerreotype made of the veterans and Jackson. The process was so expensive at the time that it cost nearly $10,000 per daguerreotype in today’s money

Interesting! I used to have a photo in my files that was the first picture taken of a individual person by a camera. I have over 5 thousand graphics and am unable to find it right now, lol.

If he was having his shoes shined would’t that be two people?
