History of Photography

I learned a couple different things doing this history of photography poster. One of which is how new photography is versus art and drawing. Humans have made artwork for tens of thousands of years and only in the last two hundred years have we had photography. Another thing I learned is the interesting ways photographs were taken in the 1800s. It took hours to get a photograph whereas right now it takes less than a second. Finally, I learned about the transition of photography from professionals to amateurs. When the Brownie camera came out in the early 1900s, it revolutionized the demographics of who can take pictures. This is important because it enables us to look into the lives of ordinary people back then.
