1. The First Photograph Ever Made 1827
Joseph Nicephore Niepce was a disciplined French scientist who spent over 13 years of his life trying to capture a moment, to make a photograph, that could be saved and kept for the future. This photograph was taken from the window of his studio in Gras, and is known as the first permanent photograph. Its title is explanitory: "The Courtyard."
