Tatlin’s Tower

sketch of Tatlin’s Tower

Tatlin’s Tower,or the project for the Monument to the Third International (1919–20)-by Vladimir Tatlin,
that was never built. 
In materials, shape and function, 
it was envisaged as a towering symbol of modernity.

Tatlin's idea on tower:

The tower's main form was a twin helix which spiraled up to 400 m in height,
The main framework would contain four large suspended geometric structures.
These structures would rotate at different rates of speed.
At the base of the structure was a cube which was designed as a venue for conferences,
and this would complete a rotation in the span of one year.
Above the cube would be a smaller pyramid housing executive activities and completing a rotation once a month.
Further up would be a cylinder, which was to house an information centre
and would complete a rotation once a day.
At the top, there would be a hemisphere for radio equipment.
There were also plans to install a gigantic open-air screen on the cylinder,
and a further projector which would be able to cast messages across the clouds on any overcast day

Che's picture in a vodka commercial, Korda claimed his moral rights (a form of copyright law)
and sued advertising agency Lowe Lintas and Rex Features, the company that supplied the photograph.
Lintas and Rex claimed that the image was in the public domain.
The final result was an out of court settlement for USD $50,000 to Korda,
which he donated to the Cuban healthcare system, stating 
"if Che was still alive,he would have done the same."

Behind the history of world photo day

world photo day

Every year of 19th august were  celebrated as world photo day all over the world, in 13th century innovators were start attempting  to capturing the moment use the light , that time principle of the camera obscura and the observation that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light were discovered.

 As far as is known, nobody thought of bringing these two phenomena together to capture camera images in permanent form until around 1800

In the mid-1820s, Nicéphore Niépce succeeded, but several days of exposure in the camera were required and the earliest results were very crude although print stay  for very few hours  . Niépce's associate Louis Daguerre went on to develop the daguerreotype process, the first publicly announced photographic process, which required only minutes of exposure in the camera and produced clear, finely detailed results. It was commercially introduced in 1839, a date generally accepted as the birth year of practical photography,   In 1826, Nicèphore Nièpce captured the earliest known permanent photograph known as 'View from the Window at Le Gras' using a process called Heliography. On January 9, 1839 French Academy of Sciences announced the daguerreotype process. A few months later, on August 19, 1839, the French government purchased the patent and announced the invention as a gift "Free to the World"

To remember this fact world photo day were celebrated every year ....!
