The unknown photographer that took this photograph of Winston Churchill achieved and unusual pose which Churchill himself liked. The look on his face and raised eyebrow was achieved when the photographer at the last minute before taking the photograph snatched the cigar out of Churchill's mouth.

What is it about photography that has captured the interest, curiosity and imagination of people everywhere. Welcome to my blog .... Before the invention of photography, to create an image of a person or a landscape you had to engage the services of an artist. Whether the image was sketched, painted or carved out of some solid object the creating of some form of artwork was limited to a few select people that were blessed by talent, social standing or wealth. Now with technology, the opportunity to create is widely available to almost everyone. Even in countries where there is hunger and famine, mobile phones enable people to take stunning colour photographs.
