I am going to enter the annals of the early history of the Internet.
Being a part of humankind’s history is one of the main aims of my creative activity.
How do you plan to do it? Why are you talking about the early stage of the Internet, my Dear Friend?
Undoubtedly, you could ask me, my Dear Friend. Assuming the first photo was posted online in 1992 (web made by Berners-Lee, showing a British group called “Les Horribles Cernettes” [they had formed at CERN]), and I wrote this post on the 25th of July, 2021, we can definitely speak of an early stage. It is the right moment to compare the early stage of the Internet to the early photography stage. The French inventor, Joseph Nicephor Niepce, took the first in 1826. The name of the photograph is “View from the Window at Le Gras.” The first thirty years of a photographic medium, many art historians call “Experimental Period.”
During this period appeared, among others, such remarkable photographs like Roger Fenton’s “Valley of the Shadow of Death” or William Henry Fox Talbot’s “The Haystack.” Another excellent example of photographic artistry from this period is Henri-Victor Regnault’s “The Ladder.”
I do not have to mention that I choose to write about these photographs because their atmosphere often reminds me of what I see in my pictures.
How do I want to enter the annals of the Internet? Not necessarily due to the design of my website, which is, as of today, at a basic level. Both text and visual content will be my advantage over the rest of the bloggers and website creators. Assuming I build and maintain a website until I am 100, I do not doubt that I will become the most creatively prolific blogger ever. In Adam Mazek, I trust. I am happy that I live in the early history of the Internet.
