"Hi, I'm Rebecca Guenther with www.m5a1photography.com and I'm here to discuss with you about when photography was invented. Now, the ideas and the principals of photography and how photography actually works at a base level go all the way back to the fourth and fifth century B.C. where Chinese and Greek philosophers basically understood how the eye worked which is essentially how a camera works, how the light comes in and bounces off the back surface, usually reversed upside down. Later on the camera obscura came into play and originally, it was just a box with a pinhole in it and called the camera obscura, or a whole room with just one pinhole to let the light in and it would reflect a, an image, upside down and backwards on the reverse wall of what was outside. This was used by artists in a smaller fashion to go out and they could then on a piece of glass, put a piece of paper and sketch what they saw. The first camera though, was the by a man named Degar and he created the degarotype. It was the first photograph that was able to be captured on a piece of glass using chemicals after thirty minutes of exposure to light and then actually fixed for a permanent image, and that is how photography was invented."
