title: Possible Oldest-Ever Photograph of a Person Foundtext: A simple black and white photo could be the first ever photograph to capture the image of a person.

Dating back to 1838, the picture was taken by Louis Daguerre, inventor of the famed daguerreotype style of photography, according to Mashable and Retronaut.

The picture shows a large street scene in Paris with a man on the corner getting his shoe shined. To capture the image, Daguerre had to leave the exposure open for around seven minutes.

It was such a long exposure that the rest of the bustling street scene, which likely would have included traffic and pedestrians, has disappeared because it moved too fast for the camera to capture on film.

As a result, the single man in the picture appears to be getting his shoes shined in an abandoned Paris street. media: 26779913

title: Keira Knightley on Posing Nude, Retouching

text: Actress Keira Knightley, who recently posed nude from the waist up for Interview magazine, told The Times of London that she's OK posing topless in front of the camera, but won't allow her image to be changed by Photoshop.

"I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters. And that [shoot] was one of the ones where I said: OK, I'm fine doing the topless shot so long as you don't make them any bigger or retouch.' Because it does feel important to say it really doesn't matter what shape you are."

The sexy spread was shot by French fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier, whom Knightley also interviewed for the article.
