Aaron Paul, who reprised the role of Jesse Pinkman

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is a 2019 American neo-Western crime thriller film that serves as a sequel and epilogue to the television series Breaking Bad. It continues the story of Jesse Pinkman, who partnered throughout the series with former teacher Walter White to build a crystal meth empire based in Albuquerque. Series creator Vince Gilligan wrote, directed, and produced the film; Aaron Paul (pictured) reprised his role as Jesse Pinkman. Gilligan started considering the story of El Camino while writing Breaking Bad's series finale. He approached Paul with the idea several years later, but told few others. After the script was complete and studio backing was obtained, principal photography discreetly began in New Mexico. In August 2019, Netflix released a trailer and unveiled the film's premiere date, surprising fans and critics alike due to the secrecy surrounding the project. The film drew positive reviews and won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Movie Made for Television. (Full article...)

Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard

Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard (2 August 1802 – 28 April 1872) was a French inventor, photographer and publisher of photographs. He was a cloth merchant by trade, developing an interest in photography in the 1840s, focusing on the technical and economic issues of the mass production of photographic prints. Blanquart-Evrard captured this seated self-portrait in 1869, processed as an albumen print, a technique that he had developed himself in 1847. This photograph is in the collection of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
