Lewis Carroll Photographer
Presento en este post algunas fotos de Lewis Carroll, el autor de Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas, que fue un destacado fotógrafo del siglo XIX.
En muchos estudios se considera que son fotos que tienen un componente erótico y llegaron, incluso, a estar,casi, ocultas de la gente.
Pienso, sin embargo, que estamos ante una situación que pasa mucho en el arte y en la historia:
- Juzgamos cosas,hechos, del ayer con el punto de vista de hoy.
Es un buen fotógrafo, muy buen fotógrafo que fotografió según y como se hacía en su época.

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)
Dodgson created his famous pen name from his own: the Latin for
'Charles' is 'Carolus', thus 'Carroll'; 'Lutwidge' (Dodgson's mother's
maiden name) = 'Lugwig', the German for 'Lewis'. Dodgson became an
undergraduate of Christ Church, Oxford, in 1851 and, when he took up
photography in 1856, was a Student (Fellow) and Mathematics Lecturer of
the college
