The first complete English translation of Nadar's intelligent and
witty memoir, a series of vignettes that capture his experiences in
the early days of photography. Celebrated nineteenth-century
photographer-and writer, actor, caricaturist, inventor, and
balloonist-Felix Nadar published this memoir of his photographic
life in 1900 at the age of eighty. Composed as a series of
vignettes (we might view them as a series of "written
photographs"), this intelligent and witty book offers stories of
Nadar's experiences in the early years of photography, memorable
character sketches, and meditations on history. It is a classic
work, cited by writers from Walter Benjamin to Rosalind Krauss.
This is its first and only complete English translation. In When I
Was a Photographer (Quand j'etais photographe), Nadar tells us
about his descent into the sewers and catacombs of Paris, where he
experimented with the use of artificial lighting, and his ascent
into the skies over Paris in a hot air balloon, from which he took
the first aerial photographs. He recounts his "postal photography"
during the 1870-1871 Siege of Paris-an amazing scheme involving
micrographic images and carrier pigeons. He describes technical
innovations and important figures in photography, and offers a
thoughtful consideration of society and culture; but he also writes
entertainingly about such matters as Balzac's terror of being
photographed, the impact of a photograph on a celebrated murder
case, and the difference between male and female clients. Nadar's
memoir captures, as surely as his photographs, traces of a vanished
era.
