Father Browne’s Camera - a Fuzzy Picture
By Jack Leslie White
Page 188
It seemed like it would be so easy. One of the world’s great photographers. The most famous ship in history. Iconic photographs. While much is known about the photographer, how the precious photos came to be taken, little has been written about the camera that captured these cherished and haunting images.
As an amateur photographer in the digital age, I became curious about the equipment used by Father Francis Browne to visually document his famous voyage on the RMS Titanic.
With all that has been written about the photographer and the photographs, I thought that it would be a simple matter to find information about the camera. I was so wrong.
