This History of
Photography
3) a. The camera obscura was first used in the 9th
century by Alhazen an Arab scientist.
b. The camera obscura works by having a dark room or box
with one small hole that let light through. This would project the image on the
outside, on the inside.
c. Photography as we know it today was born in 1839.
d. The benefits of a daguerreotype over Talbot was that he created
a silver plate which produced a sharper image.
e. The purpose of the “head holder” was to keep people’s
head still while taking a photo, since it could take up to two minutes to
process and capture a single photo. Their heads got tired!
f. George Eastman was responsible for making photography a
universal pastime.
g. It’s estimated that over approximately 380 billion photos
are taken each year.
