A Look at the Unknown and Controversial Photography Career of Lewis Carroll

PetaPixel. April 18, 2014.

The main points of this article include:

He was a writer but he was also a teacher, inventor, painter, mathematician and photographer.

In 1880 he gave up taking photographs. One possible reason in the change in the materials used to process photographs.

Many of his photos, maybe the majority, no longer exist for one reason or another.

He had an affection for young girls and some consider this an indication that he was a pedophile.

(The article does not point out that many of his childhood friends later wrote about him fondly. He also asked parents first if he could take photos of their young children so there was nothing hidden about what he did.)
