The Camera

1. The effect "camera obsurca" was created in ancient times when people cut a hole in a completely dark room, then cut a hole on one side. The hole would focus and project light onto the other wall.

2.The invention of high quality glass lenses in the 17th  century was critical in the evolution to the modern day cameras that we use today.

3.Nipeice invented a crucial part of modern cameras, Nipeice invented film, and took the first real photograph ever.

4.Modern digital cameras still use film today, just as Nipeice did, but the film we have today is much more advanced and more affordable.
5.Cameras still work in the same basic principle as they always have, light passes through the lenses and exposes the film, the same as the old days.

6. The auto camera mode, completely controls all the camera settings and all you have to is find a target and shoot.

7.To capture photos of a certain person or target, it makes you focus on the main target by blurring the background.

8.The sports mode, freezes motion by using the highest shutter speed possible. to capture things that involve an object in motion.

Harry Callahan( Black and White Masters Of Photography Pt.2)

Harr Morey Callahan was born in Detroit Michigan, on October 22nd 1912. Callahan studied Chemical engineering, and business at Michigan State University, before taking a job at Chrysler in 1936. Callahan started his career as an amateur photography, and then two years later joined Chrysler's Camera Club in 1938. Another two years later joined Detroit's photo guild in 1941, after a workshop with Ansel Adam. Soon after Callahan devoted his career solely to photography. After gaining a strong enough reputation, he was invited to teach at Chicago's Institute of Design. Callahan's pictures often displayed his wife Eleanor, and just random pedestrians that he found and photographed them. Harry Callahan died, March 15th 1999.

Selfie Vs Self-Portrait

When reading about the differences between selfies, and self portraits it can be somewhat difficult to find what sets the two apart. Selfies are big now because we have the access to take them, we just have to take our phone out, and poof it is a selfie of us and maybe others.  I think the main difference is what the two are suppose to mean to others. With a selfie it's purpose might be to display some time or occasion, something that has happened. Whereas in a self portrait your not just taking a picture of yourself. In a self portrait you have to make careful descisions to achieve what you think is good. A self-portrait is can give insight into who is the subject, who is behind the camera, and what they are like, and what their life is like, and what they're feeling.  I don't really have a preference between the two, both can be very good. I would have to say just because of the abundance of selfies today, I would like to see more self-portraits.
