Photogenic Flashbulb Tee

As we combed through all the things that would capture the excitement of photography, one item stood out. The now-obsolete hand-held flashbulb, that powerful symbol of photographic yesteryear. 

Flash photography was first developed in the 1860s via flash lamps and flash powder. Open flash lamps used magnesium ribbon and later potassium chlorate, were ignited by hand - essentially creating a miniature explosion to light up the subject.  This was a very dangerous and unreliable method to illuminate a subject. 

Lucky for us all, in the late 1920's, the first flashbulbs were developed. This marked the start of a new era, where photographers could safely illuminate their subjects in a predictable manner, without risking their hands, or worse. 

If you've ever taken a photo with a flash - whether on your DSLR or your phone - you have the invention of the flashbulb to thank for that. 

And what better captures the excitement, intensity, and spontaneity of an image captured than a flashbulb?
