A post by Abraham Riesman on the Motherboard blog, Crossdressing, Compression and Colliders: The First Photo on the Web,<\/a> reveals that unsurprisingly it was put on by Tim Berners-Lee<\/em> on July 18th, 1992, 2o years ago last week. The subject matter, the four young women of Les Horribles Cernettes<\/em>, a “comedy singing group<\/em>” of “administrative assistants and significant others of scientists<\/em>” working in the CERN laboratories leaning towards the photographer in their low-cut dresses was indeed a harbinger of things to come. The Motherboard post includes the image, along with the original photograph it was produced from using the original version of Photoshop, as well as links to videos of the group’s performances of songs written by the group’s photographer and manager, which perhaps you need to be a particle physicist to appreciate.<\/p>\n

It was some years before images on the web really took off, not least because early web brower software was text only. Mosaic, released in 1993 for XWindows and ported to Windows and Mac in September that year, was the first web browser that displayed images together with text on a web page, and\u00a0 led to a rapid growth in images on the web.<\/p>\n

In 1995 I bought my first scanner, a black and white only flatbed, and started to scan some of my prints.\u00a0 One of the computer magazines was offering free web space – I think as much as 50Kb, and with the help of my two computer-savvy sons wrote and uploaded my first web site, Family Pictures<\/a>, with 17 black and white images in December. The site is still online, though in a new location. In 1996 we moved the site to a US ISP that had a more generous free space allocation and let us use a rather less convoluted URL, and it stayed there for a few months until I bought space elsewhere in 1996-7 for a rather larger web presence – and it became a slightly odd part of the ‘Buildings of London<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9
Linda, 1978<\/p>\n

Although called Family Pictures<\/em>, and including pictures of my own family, it was a project which I had photographed with a wider audience in mind. The picture above was among a fairly disparate collection of work that I took to the first photographic workshop<\/a> I attended, and one of several that Ray Moore<\/a> picked out from the pile and encouraged me to work with. The pictures are mainly of my own family but also those of relatives and friends and were taken in 1976 -1981. By the end of the 1980s work like this had become both fashionable among photographers and controversial with the general public. It really is a loss that many parents no longer feel able to document the early years of their children in the way that I did.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/p>\n

By March 1996 I\u00a0 had learnt to use the scanner a little better and decided on slightly larger images, and made the first major update, and in 2002 I rewrote the code to use CSS, but it has otherwise changed little. I could make rather better scans now, but I think they still serve their purpose despite a rather curious speckle, and the image file sizes – between 34 Kb and 60 kB – are handy for anyone still on a slow dial-up connection. Back then images this size could take 10 or 20 seconds to load and keeping them small was essential.<\/p>\n

We had a small trick to get over this when people went through the pictures as a slide show, which I removed in 2002 as no longer necessary. At the end of the caption was what looked like a full stop, but was actually the next image but displayed very small – I think 2×2 pixels. If people looked at the image on a page for long enough\u00a0 for the next image to download it would then appear instantly at proper size when they clicked for ‘next’, which was quite a surprise at the time.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/p>\n

One of the more curious features of the site is the ‘i’ with an eye over it.\u00a0 Not a great bit of artwork, but originally the site was called\u00a0 I-Scape Gallery <\/strong>(or even at times I-Photo.)\u00a0 <\/strong>Apple brought out the iMac a couple of years later in 1998 (and iPhoto in 2002), and I suspect had I continued with the names I would have got a “cease and desist” letter from their legal vultures – which had I been a billionaire I would have been able to fight and possibly win a fortune from them.<\/p>\n
