. "The two most engaging powers of {a photographer] are : to make new things familiar and familiar things new." :
-William Thackeray, writer, 1811-1863
The camera is not a new device. Early pinhole cameras date to the ancient Chinese and Greeks. They knew you could project an image through a small hole onto a screen. However, it wasn't until the concept of the camera combined with the photographic process invented in the early 1800s that pictures became standard fare. With film cameras, light passes through the lens onto film. Today's digital cameras use the same concept, but the light goes through a lens onto an image sensor, much like the iris of the eye. Sensors capture light and convert it into an electrical signal, which it converts into data. The data, or images, are stored until downloaded .
