I have a photograph (please see attached) which I always assumed was taken by my Great-Great Grandfather, a photographer. The only thing is, he is in the photograph and I'm not sure how that would have worked. He is the one located on the far right, holding a hat. I often heard that he 'jumped' into the photo, but I'm a little skeptical. I've also heard that some sort of timer was used and it had something to do with him holding the hat. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Also, for anyone who is interested in the photo itself, it was taken in the late 1890s and is of the historic Huntington Friends Meeting in Southcentral PA.
Thank you,
David
