DESCRIPTION:

Photography enthusiasts have a lot to celebrate on National Camera Day. Today is the anniversary that the first Kodak camera went on sale June 29, 1888.

The camera documents whatever is happening in the world. Before its invention, people relied on paintings, which were very expensive and could only be viewed by a select group of people. Photography changed that. It documents day-to-day living quickly and it can be reproduced easily.

The camera is not a recent invention.

Several cultures claim the invention of the camera. Ibn Yunus of Egypt is often cited in Western cultures as the inventor, sometime near 1000 AD.

However, written documentation to pin-hole style, or camera obscura, exist nearly 1400 years earlier in 391 BC, according to Chinese records. Therein, Mozi writes of the process used in pinhole cameras to project an image.

These early cameras, however, did not allow for the collection of an image, only its projection. This changed early in the nineteenth century.

The first photograph was taken by Nicephore Niepce in 1814. He recorded the image on silver chloride-coated paper. This prototype, however, was not permanent. In 1827, he was able to produce a more permanent photograph by using a wooden camera developed by Charles and Vincent Chevalier.

The first true photograph was developed in 1836 by Louis Daguerre using a copper and silver mix plate that is coated with iodine vapor. George Eastman of the Kodak Company produced the first film camera.

By the early 2000s, cameras became digitized, resulting to higher resolutions and clearer photographs that are much more easily reproduced and shared.
