He invented the "zone system," a technique for determining optimal film exposure and development, and advocated a more sharply focused and composed style of photography than was in vogue at the time. What initially spurred his interest in photography?

The oddest of names!
Jo Pearce 22:18:59 | 16 Nov 2011
Is that it? Surely he invented a sausage or something?!
DJ 08:04:44 | 16 Nov 2011
A lesser known fact is that a side-effect of his invention is that his pens occasionally vanish. It doesn't matter how many you buy, they all disappear.. in fact the more you buy in bulk, the faster they go. Weird.
DJ 07:23:23 | 30 Sep 2011
...even fewer would claim to have evidence...
DJ 12:51:33 | 27 Sep 2011

DJ 09:13:44 | 27 Sep 2011
At Drusilla's zoo they've got a CCTV for beaver watching ... just sayin'

He had a fine 'tache!

Do you think he had a Vizsla?

Happy Birthday Sparkles!!!! :-x

What a man, an incredible inventor as well as musician! A name that will always be remembered in history...
sTubbuLon5 08:52:20 | 10 Jun 2011
I've heard a lot about this chap from a guitar-playing enthusiast, who's around here somewhere :-)
DJ 07:58:34 | 10 Jun 2011
And there was me thinking fashion began with Adam Ant... :-)
DJ 08:49:09 | 8 Jun 2011
Most certainly one of the all-time greats...
DJ 08:23:03 | 7 Jun 2011
Presumably these days he'd be labelled 'terrorist', rather than 'guerilla'...
DJ 10:15:06 | 6 Jun 2011
A real style icon and beautiful.....Happy Birthday Kate
Jo Pearce 06:20:51 | 13 May 2011
An absolute goddess & legend of the silver screen...

Sounds like he should be on the Dinner Guests list! >:^p
