gifted photographer and a talented mathematician?

Not so sure about either of these. Certainly he was an early photographer, and a serious photographer, but do photographers consider him to be of particular importance in the history of photography? Similarly, "talented" is a little vague. He was a professor of mathematics, but I don't think mathematicians consider him to have been an important one. In fact I'm not sure what his books and publications were, apart from "Symbolic logic." He created some ingenious and amusing mathematical puzzles with accompanying story-lines.

I'm no expert on Lewis Carroll, but apparently his photographic work is considered top-notch, among the very best for his time and quite influential. Certainly it's hard to quibble with work like this:

I think Lewis Carroll wrote a math book and dedicated it to the Queen of England., and was considered a stand-out math student at Oxford. --Aschlafly 21:39, 11 February 2007 (EST)
