What would the world be like without photography? Well to begin with it wouldn’t be
anywhere near to what we have converted it into currently. We wouldn’t be able to capture
memories or beautiful views, nor would we be able to pass on certain ideas for educational
purposes. But, brilliant people such as Mo-ti to Eugene F. Larry, brought all their ideas together
like a chain and contributed to the development of the camera. The concept of creating images
besides drawing them started hundreds of years ago and had finally met it’s ideal state about 100
years ago. Cameras were, and will remain a device that will take us on further into the future like
it did before.

Which later on connected to Aristotle’s practical use of the first principles of the
camera in 350 BC and it wasn’t till 1050 AD that Shen Kuo actually experimented with the
camera obscura for the first time. From there it led to it’s official use verbally in 1604 by
astronomer Johannes Kepler. During the 1890’s the camera obscura was finally gaining high
levels of attention due to what it was capable of doing and their purposes as well. It’s creation
allowed Joseph Nicephore Niepce to take the first photograph ever of his view from his studio in
California in 1826. His son whose lithography he depended on, had gotten drafted by the army
and left poor Joseph on his own to create his own images. However, Joseph was wise enough to
turn to another alternative, the camera obscura. Niepce thought about using a material that can be
affected by the sun’s light and was hopefully able to print a picture of his desire. He made
numerous mistakes when trying to find out what was a perfect material combination until 1826
when he finally discovered Bitumen of Judea (related to asphalt) spreaded onto a pewter.
