Gauss: "I knew this centuries ago"

Fermat: "This margin is too small to contain my contempt for this proof"

Leibniz: "I would use different notation"

I’m a street photographer and I’ve spent many years photographing women both candidly and in portraits. This is a thread of some of my photos to celebrate International Women’s Day. These images were captured all over the world and some of them go back about 20 years
