William Henry Fox Talbot had an Epic in 1864

After an experience-enriching day at the Santa Fe 3D Workshop at Red Studios, a pizza and beer fueled discussion ensued about William Henry Fox Talbot as a truly under-appreciated inventor, a quick Wikipedia search yielded a rather suprising result. Let this picture be worth a thousand words:

Thanks to Vince, Geoff, Maninder, Tonaci, Chris, Vincent, BigLu, presenters, participants and RED for everything!

Justin,
You think Henry's camera maybe the 645 alpha model?
I'd say your IA is at Whale Shark and convergence set at chameleon.
Great meeting you and thanks for your help at the Santa Fe 3D workshop.
Great shot by Tonaci.
Enjoy peaceful days ahead with your loved ones.
