and to this day i do n't really know what happened we had been talking the night before about what julien looked like when he was young , how handsome he appeared in all the photographs , and you know it was like going through a veritable history of photography to study all that tb ( e first pictures of him were daguerreotypes , and then came the tintypes and the later genuine photographs in sepia on cardboard , and finally the sort of black and white pictures we have today .
