[Leica] IMGs: Friday flowers; and iPhone camera part two

[George Lottermoser]

Thanks Jayanand.

There's ever mounting evidence that the "masters" all used various forms of the camera obscura. And once "photographic technologies" became relatively common place. Many of the artists of the day embraced it as a drawing tool; and some even made quite artistic photographs; Man Ray probably the most well known. Though Degas also has gained recognition <https://books.google.com/books?id=rZkw_1SRbEUC&printsec=frontcover&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false>

Now… if you differentiate between "illustrators" and "well known artists" you'd probably find many who felt threatened, and rightfully so, by photographers; most especially the "portrait illustrators" and "magazine illustrators" and "advertising illustrators."
