Emmanuel, good to know that we have members from France on the list. I wonder if you know that when photography was invented, in England and a year or so later in France, that if one took a photograph the print was the property of the person who owned that which was photographed, and not the photographer. Marvin.
Reminds me of the stories I used to read in National Geographic about some natives in un-developed countries who wouldn't allow their pictures to be taken because the picture would capture their spirit.
I suppose those days are over.A second thought- if a negative was involved in the photo process at that time, who owned the negative?
