Millionaire immigrant photographer's bold machine
Josepho, a Russian-born immigrant who landed at Ellis Island three years ago, built an automatic camera that makes eight poses for a quarter. Investors led by Henry Morgenthau paid $1,000,000 for the idea, with Josepho named vice president in charge of production. He plans a philanthropy fund and to apply the system to passport work and mass photography.
