Interesting things you discover whilst sitting, waiting, for hours, at the airport. In 1900 one Thomas Hinton was admitted to the New Norfolk (Tasmania) Hospital for the Insane after being found to be of unsound mind because of a mania for having his photograph taken in all sorts of dress and without dress. One wonders how keen models would be judged today - the funny farm would overfloweth; and how would the photographers be judged? Perhaps as some sort of agent contributing to the insanity of models! Was Thomas insane or just ahead of his time? Well possibly he was not altogether stable; he was arrested for discharging a double-barreled shotgun at a tram because he was sick of the noise it made, and he had a bike without pedals but with a watering pot above the front wheel to prevent the tyres from becoming red hot.
