An early calotype of Brighton's Royal Pavilion, probably taken by William Henry Fox Talbot (1846).

I chose this image because I enjoy looking at old photographs of significant sites. I like the symmetry in this photo also. The shapes add texture to the photo. Calotypes are interesting because they possess a certain amount of texture that other mediums of photography don't possess. The grainy texture adds to the quality of this photo. Alongside the grainy texture, the lack of focus in this photo is also very interesting. Like with pinhole cameras, there seems to be nothing that is completely in focus but rather everything in the photo is in focus. I like that this photo does not choose one thing to focus on over another but rather absorbs the whole landscape and being one image.
