History of the camera

The pinhole camera was made out of a box with a small hole inside it and inside, a light would travel and reflect against a mirror. The light itself carries the image. The Pinhole camera was often used to observe solar events and help draw architecture such as homes and buildings.

At the time of putting it together, he was experimenting with image formation back in the 10th century and what came about his discovery was that he was arranging three candles in a row and put a screen with a small hole between the candles and the wall. He realized that the images were being formed by the small holes and the…

“An addiction,” those were the last words she heard her parents say as she drove away. She clutched her camera and shut the tears from her eyes. They slid down her face like the river she was hoping to capture. Photography was the only thing in her life she was sure of now and she would live her dream, no matter how much it cost her.
