Saint Veronica is the patron saint of photographers. World Photography Day: description, history and interesting facts St. Veronica's Day - the patroness of photographers
July 25 but our Gregorian calendar (that is, according to the new style). Or is it July 12 according to the Julian calendar (that is, according to the old style). But, since we are all drawn to the West, and THERE it is not customary to translate pre-revolutionary dates into " new style", then an intermediate solution was chosen, which, like any compromise, cannot suit either side. After all, Catholics celebrate St. Veronica's Day on February 4 for some reason.
It was also decided to celebrate the day of the photographer on July 12, and not on the 25th, because George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, was born on July 12, 1854 ( Eastman Kodak ), who made the "photo accessible to all".
Why is Photographer's Day important?
Collection of signatures in support of the idea of fixing the date of July 12 for Photographer's Day- as an official professional holiday of the Russian Federation.

Saint Veronica's Day (according to the old calendar)*
Saint Veronica- a woman who gave Jesus, who was walking to Calvary, a cloth so that he would wipe the sweat from his face. The face of the Savior remained imprinted on the fabric. After the invention of photography By papal decree, Saint Veronica was declared the patroness of photography and photographers..
From the 4th century in the west there is a legend about Veronica, which grew widely until the late Middle Ages. One of the weeping women (Lk 23:27) gives Christ a cloak (sudarium) during his Way of the Cross to wipe his face with it. Jesus presses it to his face, and the imprint of his face is left on it. This woman was soon identified with the bleeding woman or with Martha of Bethany. Approximately from the VI century. in Upper Italy and Southern France, the story is spread in many versions that the seriously ill emperor Tiberius heard about Jesus in Palestine and sent a messenger to invite Him. When he learns that Jesus was crucified, he deposes and arrests Pilate in anger. After that, he calls on a woman who suffered from bleeding, who imprinted Jesus on a board during her lifetime. When looking at the image, the emperor is healed and baptized.
Later, they began to say that the woman remained in Rome and bequeathed the board with the image to St. Clement before her death. Even later, it is reported that the woman allegedly went to Jesus with a fee to depict him on it. And Jesus met her on the way and imprinted his face on the board. According to another version, Luke tried three times in vain to draw Jesus. Then Jesus miraculously imprinted his own face, and so on.
The legend of Veronica originates from the Syrian legend of Abgar from the beginning of the 4th century BC. The original version is reported by Eusebius c. 300: King Abgar of Edessa (Abgar Ukkama, 4 B.C. to A.D. 7 or A.D. 13 to A.D. 50; Edessa, present-day Urfa, southeastern Turkey) was terminally ill and sends a messenger Hannan (Ananias) with his message to Jesus, in which he asks him for healing and invites him to come to Edessa, thus avoiding the persecution of the Jews. Jesus answers him that he cannot come to him, since what was destined for him must be accomplished in Jerusalem, but that after his death he will send his apostle to him. After the Ascension of Christ, the Apostle Thomas sends Addai (Thaddeus), one of the 70 apostles, who heals Abgar with the laying on of hands and then preaches throughout the country. Soon the legend is supplemented by a new motif: Jesus, along with a letter in response, sends his image, which he printed by pressing his face to the board. When looking at him, Abgar is healed.
Like the legend of Veronica, the legend of Abgar was subsequently enriched with numerous variants. Approximately from the VI century. this is no longer Abgar himself, but his (imaginary) daughter Veronica takes the image for her father. The so-called Abgar is closely connected with the legend. Edessa image: in 544, an image of Christ was found on the city wall of Edessa above the city gates, which soon began to enjoy great reverence. It was considered Acheiropoieton (created not by a human river). From this image, 2 copies were made, which later changed owners many times and presumably died in the era of iconoclasm (730-843).
The Byzantine emperor Tomanos I Lakapenos in 944 ordered that the original be moved to Constantinople. The day of this transfer is still celebrated by the Byzantines on August 16. The knights of the fourth campaign of the Crusaders stole it, along with many other relics, and took it with them to Europe. The churches of St. Sylvester in Capite in Rome, St.-Chapelle in Paris (it got there as a gift from Baldwin to Louis IX, in 1217) and Genoa (as if it was a gift from the Byzantine emperor, in the XIV century) claim to possess this image. .).
The Edessa image is significant in that it represents the original source type for all images of Christ in the East, up to the present day. Already very early there were claims about the possession of an "authentic" image of Christ. Irenaeus of Lyon reports before 200 that the adherents of Carpocrates (a Gnostic sect) supposedly possess such an "authentic" image. It was created as if from an ancient image that Pilate ordered to be painted from Jesus. It is striking that also in Italy already from the 4th century. there are images of Christ that are similar in expression and are clearly influenced by the Byzantine original type, for example, in the catacomb of Sts. Peter and Marcellin in Rome (c. 400), on the portal of St. Sabina in Rome (beginning of the 5th century), on the mosaic in St. Appolinara in Ravenna (c. 500), on the apse mosaic in the church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian in Rome (VI century).
In the oratory of St. Mary ad Praesepem has been venerated in Rome since at least the 8th century. one image of Christ. It was called Vultus effigeis (image of a face) or Sudarium (clothes, veil, handkerchief for wiping sweat). 12th century inscription calls it "Vera ikon" (original image), from which the popular name Veronyca is derived. Probably, there is a sound similarity with the above-mentioned Beronike. This is an image on a board, in a typical Byzantine manner (Serbia), framed by a fabric depicting the folds of a board; now it has changed beyond recognition, but there are numerous early copies of it, one of which is kept in Peter's Cathedral in Rome. "Veronica", up to the XIII century. was either the name of the image, or the name of the legendary woman. From the 14th century. The latter prevailed. Along with this, there are numerous other "images of Veronica", which are given out either as the "original" or as a copy.
In the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sovereign (sweat). Also in the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica took a firm place and is still the main figure of the sixth stop of the Way of the Cross.
Early church authorities, and later critical studies, spoke out against the historical authenticity of Veronica and her legend. Nevertheless, she became one of the most popular folk saints, whose day since the 15th century (absent in the Roman Martyrology) has been celebrated on February 4th.
An unexpected discovery was made in 1950 by the Prague doctor R.W. Hynek. For a long time he assumed a causal relationship between the ancient images of Veronica and the Byzantine icons of Christ with the face on the Shroud of Turin. With the help of a photographic overlay of copies of the Turin face and a Roman copy, he established an exact match of all contours and proportions, including larger wounds and traces of blood on the face. Both images complement each other and create a very plastic, full of life portrait.
Thus, proof is provided that the Shroud of Turin is directly or indirectly the original type, the original model of all Western and Eastern images of Christ. The Shroud of Turin is considered to be the cloth in which the body of Christ was wrapped in the grave. Through the imprint of a corpse, she demonstrates with stunning realism all the details of his suffering. It was in the first centuries in Jerusalem and other places in Palestine; in the 8th century through Asia Minor came to Constantinople, from where her crusaders of the fourth crusade taken to Europe. A little later, she appeared in Besancon, where she remained until 1349. From 1353 to 1418 she was in the possession of the founder of the LereV monastery near Troyes, from 1418 to 1578 in the possession of Messrs. Chambery. In 1578, she was transferred across the Alps to Turin, meeting the desire of the elder cardinal Charles Barromeus, who wanted to bow to her. Scientific research The Shroud of Turin in the modern sense began in 1931 and since 1973 are considered largely finished.
The authenticity of this relic is now universally recognized.
Saint Veronica, whose memory is associated with the Image of the Suffering Savior Not Made by Hands, became one of the most popular folk saints, despite the fact that some church authorities and critical researchers spoke out against the historical accuracy of Veronica and her legend.
Let's try to restore the events. Betrayed and condemned to martyrdom, Jesus Christ went to Mount Golgotha, carrying His cross to be crucified. The procession was surrounded by a crowd that accompanied the Savior to the suffering on the cross. Veronica merged with the human sea and followed Christ.
Exhausted, Jesus fell under the weight of the cross, and Veronica, taking pity on Him, ran up to Him, gave Him water to drink and gave Him her scarf to wipe the sweat from her face. Returning home, Veronica discovered that the holy face of the Savior was imprinted on the fabric. This veil of St. Veronica eventually came to Rome and became known here under the name of the Image Not Made by Hands...
In the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sir(sweat fee). In the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica also took a strong place and is still the main figure of the sixth stop of the Way of the Cross.
It is believed that the name Veronica is a corruption of the Latin vera icons(“true image”) - this is how they called the “plate of Veronica”, distinguishing it from other images of Christ. For the first time, the story of Saint Veronica appears in the apocryphal Acts of Pilate, dating back to the 4th or 5th century.
The image and deeds of Saint Veronica served to revere her as the patroness of photographers and photography. Therefore, amateurs and professionals of photography celebrate this day as the day of the photographer.
In honor of our holiday with you, I offer you a selection of "Photographers in sculpture"!
I sincerely congratulate everyone on our professional holiday!
1. Monument to the photographer in St. Petersburg.
For several years now, passers-by on Malaya Sadovaya have been "catching" through the lens of a bronze camera a short man with an umbrella and a cute bulldog. Crowds of curious people gather at the monument to Karl Bulle every day. The townspeople stroke the dog, study the old apparatus, and even the master himself is patted on the shoulder: they stand opposite, laugh - they are waiting for the “bird to fly out”. The photographer smiles sadly, looking at them - just, probably, as his famous prototype smiled, preparing to give eternity another moment from the life of the old, pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg.
Today, Bull's atelier still houses a photographic studio, the entrance to it is from Nevsky Prospekt. And at the window of the restaurant on the corner there was a bronze figure, frozen in silent expectation of the right moment, "the right light and position", counting the seconds until a blinding flash. A flash that separates the vanity from the beautiful.
2. Sculpture "Unknown photographer with a Kodak camera"
Located near Arch Barracks in St George's Terrace, Perth, created by local sculptors Ann Neal and Greg James
3. Monument to the photographer in Vancouver
4. Monument to the photographer in Krasnoyarsk
The bronze photographer appeared on Prospekt Mira on September 3, 2003. The monument immediately fell in love with Krasnoyarsk residents.
True, many passers-by are still surprised by the combination of an old camera and quite modern clothes. The author of the work, Andrey Kiyanitsyn, explains that, by design, such a synthesis clearly conveys the connection of times. After all, the ancient invention has not sunk into oblivion, but has only changed and still serves people. Starting from the opening of the monument and until now, the townspeople have been arguing whether the photographer is right. According to some, it should be turned 180 degrees, and look through the lens at the road. There is also a version that the photographer was created specifically to “shoot” the artist Pozdeev. However, all these speculations are groundless. The sculpture was made by order of the Kodak salon: to decorate the adjacent square and to attract customers. The idea is so original advertising belongs to the architect Mikhail Merkulov. At one time, there were ill-wishers who accused the sculptor of almost plagiarism. Allegedly, the Krasnoyarsk "frame master" is literally copied from St. Petersburg. In fact, in the Northern capital on Malaya Sadovaya in 2001, a monument was erected to a real person named Karl Bulla (1853-1929). The famous photographer of the beginning of the last century is depicted with a dog and with an umbrella, his clothes correspond to the style of the past era, and he looks at those passing by with some kind of slight sadness. The photographer from the capital of Krasnoyarsk is a collective image, so he has no face, or rather he is not visible from behind the camera. The similarity of the monuments to people of the same profession is the only thing - a camera. Moreover, perhaps, the fact that both sculptures are made in full size of human growth. By the way, Andrei Kiyanitsyn revealed a secret to Press Line. Since he did not have to sculpt any particular person, he blinded the photographer by looking at himself in the mirror. By the way, after the opening of the monument, the chairman of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Union of Artists of Russia, Sergey Anufriev, said that the need to install such a monument is long overdue, since the photography of our region is known not only in Siberia, but also far beyond its borders. Interestingly, immediately after its appearance and still frail bronze figurine on Mira is the subject of controversy: “Are such structures needed at all?”. Meanwhile, street polls organized by the Press-Line.ru news agency prove that Krasnoyarsk residents do not mind seeing bronze sculptures on the streets of the city. And not only pedestals in honor of leaders and writers, but also those that are called, simply, to cheer up. This is probably why the townspeople quite often linger at the Kodak, study the old apparatus, stand opposite, smile and wait for the “bird to fly out”.

14. Monument to the legendary Latvian photographer Filip Halsman
Bronze - 2m, Riga, Latvia 2011
May 2 in Riga, near the Museum decorative arts and design, opposite the home of Philipp Halsman st. Kalku 6, a monument to the great photographer Philipp Halsman was unveiled. A citizen of Latvia has become the one through whose lens we know Marilyn Monroe and Churchill, Salvador Dali and Einstein. Because of the war, he was forced to emigrate to the United States. And in the end, he glorified Latvia with his work.
In the monument to Halsman, Gregory used a simple idea: in the 20th century, photographers covered themselves with a canvas while working, and this moment, when he lifted the canvas, he seemed to acquire wings. There is a feeling of flight. Hence the unexpected decision. When photographs are developed in a developer, separate parts of the images first appear - there is a head, a frame, a canvas, like the wings of a bird, a camera ... The rest did not appear. And there is a realistic abstraction, which the artist embodied.
Saint Veronica, according to the Bible, gave Jesus, going to Golgotha, a cloth so that he could wipe the sweat from his face. The face of Christ was imprinted on this fabric. Nearly two millennia later, when photography was invented, the Pope proclaimed this day World Photographer's Day.
In the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sovereign (sweat). In the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica also took a strong place and is still the main figure of the sixth stop of the Way of the Cross. Icon of St. Veronica Icon of St. Veronica It is believed that the name of Veronica is a distorted from the Latin vera icon ("true image") - the so-called "Veronica's board", distinguishing it from other images of Christ. For the first time, the story of Saint Veronica appears in the apocryphal Acts of Pilate, dating back to the 4th or 5th century.

| "View from the Workshop Window" Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. |
The French inventor and partner of Niepce, Louis Daguerre (remember the daguerreotypes?) took a picture of a Parisian street in 1838, the work is called "Boulevard du Temple". The street appears deserted as the shot was taken at a 10 minute exposure, people moving down the street too fast to stay in the photo. But one of the passers-by still stopped to shine his shoes. He remained motionless long enough to hit the photographic plate. This is the first ever photograph of a person.
In 1839, American photography pioneer Robert Hinnieser Cornelius took a self-portrait. This shot was the first portrait and self-portrait in history.
The first person to invent the negative was William Henry Fox Talbot. This event took place in 1839. The inventor called his method of shooting calotype, which means “beauty”. In the same year, Hippolyte Bayard presented the world with the first positive imprint. John Herschel, an English astronomer, physicist, mathematician, chemist, botanist and photographer, called Talbot's invention "photography" and coined the words "negative" and "positive" as well as "Snapshot".
The first color photographs appeared in the middle of the 19th century. To create them, three cameras were used - a light filter (red, green and blue) was installed on each, and then the images were combined. It was long and painstaking work in pursuit of beauty and maximum authenticity. The first color photograph was taken in 1861 by James Maxwell, an English physicist. For the first time, retouching of photographs and, at the request of the customer, making them “colored”, which was achieved by coloring with watercolors, began in 1840. It was a terrible luxury in those days.
The appearance of the first plates for color photography dates back to 1904, they were produced by the Lumiere company.
And here's another one color photography one of the earliest, dated 1872 and taken in the south of France by photographer Louis Duc du Auron.
The first aerial photograph was taken in 1858 by the French cartoonist Gaspard Felix Tournache. He grabbed the camera in the trash hot air balloon and took several shots from above of the French village of Petit-Becetre. However, time ruined these pictures. Now the earliest photo taken from the air is a frame from 1860, it shows the city of Boston (USA).
The first underwater photographs were taken by William Thomas in 1856. Unfortunately, all footage from that year has been lost. Above is the first published underwater photograph (Louis Bhutan, 1890).
The first image from space was taken in New Mexico. On October 24, 1946, a 35mm camera mounted on a V-2 rocket took a picture from 65 miles above the Earth. These days, we are used to colorful NASA images, video footage from Earth's orbit. And then, in 1946, when the war had just ended, it was an unprecedented miracle to see such a thing.
The basis of the digital camera was invented in 1973. These were CCD matrices, with the help of which it was possible to obtain an image of 100x100 pixels in size.
The first astronomical electronic photo was taken using such matrices the very next year, 1974.
The history of digital photography begins with the Mavica, which was released by Sony in 1981. Mavica is an almost full-fledged DSLR with interchangeable lenses and a resolution of 570x490 pixels. However, then it was considered a "static video camera", the result of which was not a video stream, but static pictures - individual frames. Officially the first in the world digital camera is considered to be the development of Kodak, or rather Stephen Sesson. The camera he invented recorded the image on an audio cassette with magnetic tape. The image recording time from the moment the shutter button was pressed was 22 seconds.
The world's first autofocus reflex camera was released by Polaroid in 1979, and in 1985 Minolta released the camera that eventually became the standard for SLR cameras (both sensor and motor were contained in the camera body).
Classification of photographers, or Soap dishes and SLRs
Cameras are divided into soap dishes and DSLRs. It is a fact. Additional divisions are from the evil one and only bring confusion into children's fragile minds.
Soap dishes are pistols. It is convenient to carry them in your pocket like in a holster, quickly snatch them out and shoot in all directions. The result is not guaranteed. For either you often miss (with focus, ISO and other garbage, the existence of which you don’t even suspect), or at long distances the “bullet” loses its lethal force (sharpness and detail).
SLR is a sniper rifle. You can properly aim and kill nafig. Those. get a picture of such quality that if you squint your eyes to the nose when looking at it, pure 3D comes out. But at the same time, the rate of fire is lost, and the dimensions of the weapon increase greatly.
A fighter with a soap dish is mobile. Poorly predictable. Hasty and careless. Walking down the street, sees a fountain - BANG - 2 frames. It goes - a monument - bang - 3 frames, it goes - a dog - BANG - 5 frames. For some particularly hasty amateurs, half of the pictures are photographs of the insides of their own pocket. Or smeared color spots, well suited for the Luscher test.
A real mirror mirror is like Amundsen on an expedition to the South Pole. He walks angrily, sweating like a caravan camel. He carries a 1kg camera, a bag with a pair of lenses and a tripod screwed onto his back. He saw a fountain, a monument and a dog in the coffin. He doesn't get distracted by the little things. If he will arrange his vast economy, then at least for St. Peter's Cathedral or the pyramid of Cheops. Like a true sniper, he chooses a place, arranges it, setting it up, setting it up, taking exposure measurements. Corrects for wind, star positions and magnetic field. Then it freezes in immobility, waiting for the right light.
The soapbox is cheerful, carefree and cheerfully stupid.
Mirror is gloomy, focused and contemptuous.
The soap-maker with the joy of a neophyte-idiot puts all the photos in a row on the Internet. “Me and the fountain”, “me and the monument”, “I am running away from the dog from the previous frame”.
SLR for half an hour sawing each frame with Photoshop at the level of individual pixels. Pulls out balances of white and red with pliers. Each posted photo must include full size, RAW and instructions on how to view it correctly.
The soapbox stupidly adds dozens of other people's pictures.
Mirror mirror shits on the forums for any reason (but the Nikon Vs. Cannon topic is especially popular).
Mylnik treats his camera easily. It doesn't matter that she lathers (she's supposed to), eats batteries like a pig on acorns, and has a control system more intricate than the Cretan labyrinth with the Minotaur. That in the light it more or less captures everything, in the dark - only the darkness itself. He drops it, drenches it in the rain, and wipes the lens with spit and fingers.
The mirror has a set of filters, a collection of highly specialized cloths and brushes, daily checks the matrix for hot pixels. Any deviation from the norm drives him into depression.
And then there are filmmakers - those generally TERRIBLE people. Having met - run without looking back!
According to statistics to date, only 2 out of 10 shots taken digital cameras, are printed on paper, and there are more than 65 billion digital photographs printed in the world. This means that soon this number will exceed the mark of 66 billion, it will exceed the number of photographs in the world printed from film.
- I can disfigure anyone with one movement of my finger!
- Oh, you must be a jiu-jitsu master?
- No, I'm a photographer!
Cool Photographer Rules
1. The first rule of a great photographer: never show your pictures!
2. The second rule of a cool photographer - do not show your pictures to anyone! If you are still asked to show - excuse yourself. Tell me about terabytes of raw raw-offs on your computer, workload, about copyright and related rights, about contracts with Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, other glossy magazines and advertising agencies.
3. If you have a blog, from time to time post pictures of recognized photographers in it with moderately laudatory comments like “this is how you should shoot!”. Theorize more.
4. As a last resort, post a couple of abstract pictures with the addition “well, I'm playing the fool” (or “these are my youthful experiences”). Not more!
5. Register on as many communities, forums and sites dedicated to photography as possible. Speak often, scold moderately, without fanaticism. Use the expressions: “mediocre”, “dull shit”, “the horizon is littered”, “your matrix is dirty”, “withered colors”, “where is the idea?” (option "where is the concept?") and so on. A real cool photographer will always find something to scold. Don't praise! Beginners rot to complete destruction.
6. Learn the terminology. The words "exposure compensation", "bracketing", "crop", "polarization", "bokeh" should bounce off the teeth like "dad-mum". Use them!
7. Learn jargon and use it boldly. Call a lens a “lens”, a wide-angle lens a “wide”, a flash a “puff”, and an aperture a “hole”. Say what's more convenient.
8. Despise the rules, but hate those who do not respect them.
9. Learn the names of a couple of famous photographers and know the thesis of their statements. Use them in theorizing and criticism.
10. Install the latest version of Photoshop on your computer. English. Master the stamp. Tell everyone that you don't use Photoshop on principle! And slander everyone who uses it.
11. Photo filters are crutches for cripples! A universal lens is only suitable for the armless and legless. The professional uses different lenses for every occasion, and uses his legs and head to zoom in and out of the subject!
12. Get a camera. Remember: "Canon" is cheap and pop. Panasonic, Sony, Olympus and Konika are rubbish. As a last resort, take Nikon or Pentax. Better - Leica or Hasselblad. If funds are not enough - find a widescreen "Kyiv". It is not necessary to load expensive film into it - just carry the camera with you.
13. In general, the more lenses, flashes, filters, exposure meters you have in your bag, the cooler you are!
14. Professionals shoot on film, or on very cool digital cameras. If you don’t have money for something like 1D Mark, carry an ancient film camera with you, arguing that “digital” is far from “film”. Justify this with incorrect color reproduction, low resolution compared to film, and the relative youth of technology.
15. If you still use digital camera- declare that you ignore the screen, and at the same time the viewfinder with a built-in exposure meter. You set all the settings by experience and by eye.
16. Find a friend with a photo studio and drink at his place more often.
17. Disappear from time to time for a day or two. Say that there was a big order, did not get out of the photo studio. Or that he flew to Kamchatka to shoot geysers in his own National Geographic helicopter.
18. Keep a diploma from some photography school on the table, but do not forget to say that you have long outgrown your teachers.
19. Memorize Ken Rockwell's article on photography. Refute it or justify it with examples, depending on the situation.
20. Thoroughly study all models of cameras - up to and including 40 years old. Regularly read the releases of new products and know by heart all the cameras, lenses, flashes available today.
21. Constantly follow the photo exhibitions. It is not necessary to visit them, it is enough to read the reviews.
If you start using these rules regularly, everyone around you will sooner or later see you as a cool photographer!
One photographer, being invited to a party, took some of his pictures in order to show them to the guests on occasion.
The hostess, seeing the pictures, exclaimed:
- What amazing photos! You seem to have a very expensive camera!
The photographer did not answer her anything, but saying goodbye at the end of the evening he said:
Thanks, dinner was great! You must have some very nice pans!
Post on one of the forums:
recently purchased Canon camera 400D. For a short time I have already shot a bunch of pictures and now I’m thinking about whether I can combine business with pleasure. Namely, part-time photography of weddings. I know firsthand the practice of photography - I had a decent experience of photography with Zenit. I figure out what it takes. The lens is available so far only whale, I understand that another is needed, but now I won’t pull it. Is it possible only with whale? I need an external flash, for the money I estimate for 6-8 thousand, recommend which one is better to take. I will buy an additional memory card and battery. What else is needed? A tripod with a "cable" - I don't know ?, in my opinion it is not necessary to have one.
Answer:
I recently purchased a scalpel from a medical equipment store. In a short time, I already cut a leather sofa, and almost cut my dog, and now I’m thinking about whether I can combine business with pleasure. Namely, to work as a cardiac surgeon. He is familiar with the practice of surgery firsthand - he had a decent experience in working with a can opener. I figure out what it takes. The scalpel is still unsharpened and only one, I understand that another is needed, but now I won’t pull it. Is it possible to perform coronary artery bypass surgery with only one scalpel?

A very professional photographer is dying. The right hand rests on his favorite camera - Canon, lying on a blanket, all the walls are hung with photographs with the captions "My cat", "My dog", "My mother-in-law", "My sunrises and sunsets", etc. Suddenly he feels that someone is standing by the bed: - Who are you? - Your death!
- My?! Smile!
Photographer Sidorov abandoned the Western habit of asking his subjects to say "chi-i-i-iz." He knows from experience that a smile is much more natural when the subjects say "heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" to you.
The day of the photographer or the day of Saint Veronica, the patroness of photography, is celebrated on July 12th. According to legend, when Jesus fell under the weight of his cross on the way to Golgotha, Veronica gave him a handkerchief to wipe his face. Upon returning home, Veronica discovered the face of the Savior, preserved on the fabric. Since then, this handkerchief, known as the Image Not Made by Hands, has been kept in Rome. In connection with this story, many professionals and amateurs of photography celebrate their professional holiday on this Saint's day.
However, World Photography Day is celebrated every year on August 19 and is associated with the acquisition by the French government in 1839 of a patent for a method of obtaining a print called the daguerreotype.
Today, the camera is available to almost everyone, and the art of photography has become a profession that is taught in various universities around the world.
