History of Photography

It is pretty remarkable to see how far we've come with photography and technology. Now we have nine year olds posting random mirror picture to their social networking sites using their iPhone. I need an iPhone....just thought I would throw that in there. In all seriousness though, the art of photography is being wasted because of technology. The pictures we can get from our smart phones come out awesome! It would take so much time and effort years ago to create the same effects we do now in five seconds.

It is so interesting to see how the first movies were made. Taking individual pictures are forming them into into a "moving picture" must have been so exciting to witness back in the day. I was just watching the deleted scenes from Titanic the other day (yes, I am obsessed with that movie and am still not out of my leo phase) and Rose jumps right in from of a camera stating that she could be a "moving picture actress!". It was the same type of camera we learned about in class. Click on 1:27
