First Camera Ever Made
Through time, cameras have been created, improved, and sold. But, who created the camera? Who do we give our gratitude for this wonderful creation? A creation that preserves our memories, gives us insight about other parts of the world (what they look like), and inspires us artistically.
Well this is a hard question to answer. The reason is, because it was though a lot of collaboration. Though time, great scientist, and great minds. We have the luxury to keep our pasts. Because of these great individuals (just to name a few) Aristotle, Theon of Alexandria, Al-Kindi, Mozi, and Alhazen; we can now see the world in many different ways.
The Camera Obscura
The camera obscura Latin for “dark room” was a device which projected images of its surroundings. Originally a large dark room completely sealed from light except for a very small pinhole from which external light came through. Producing upside down images that were traced and used for art sketches, drawing, and viewing.
Through time, a smaller and more portable camera obscura was created. And even today the making and design of the camera is still improving!
