LOL.
Henrik Ibsen was also born in 1828.

To see if there was something slightly closer to on-topic in this, I googled the
words photography 1828, and came up with one interesting link:

http://www.niepce.com/pagus/invus3.html

The Daguerrotype was not yet conceived, so photography was not yet born, as
such. However, this year Nicephore Niepce invented a new photographic process,
based on a light sensitive substance called "Judea bitumen". 

Interestingly, this is a negative process, and thus predates Talbot's process
(which is generally considered as the first negative process) by more than a
decade.

Cheers,
Jostein
