David K 11/20/97 The camera is a device that is able to record scenes and put them on a piece of film. After the entire roll of film has been taken, the owner then gets it developed into pictures. The camera has a view-piece on one side and a lens on the other side. Cameras are usually made out a metal or plastic material. The earliest version of the camera, called the daguerreotype, was invented by Louis Jacques MandŽ Daguerre in 1839 in France. A ÔdevelopedÕ picture taken by a daguerreotype is a copper plate. He used iodine vapors to prepare the copperplate and then used mercury fumes to ÔdevelopÕ the picture. Modern day cameras are reusable and use different types of film varying in the number of pictures taken, and also in the quality/detail desired in the picture. TodayÕs cameras also vary in size, with some cameras able to fit in a pocket and others that must be carried around in a large case. Bibliography ÒThe Art of PhotographyÓ.
