History of Photography



When I first started this project the idea I had was to do something different from everybody else. Most of my classmate did a painting. I did not want to do a paint because one it will turn into a mess and two I have been doing paintings and working on art a year round. My project shows the different steps it to the inventors of photography to make it essay.

I learned that the inventors had many problems in the beginning and in order to fix the problem they come up with different ideas and the got rid of the old ones. When doing my research I learned that they did a variety of things to make photography easy and that is why photography is based on a variety of things and not just one thing.

I think this project is important because it shows that photography is not only about talking pictures and at one point it was more popular than it is now. My strengths in this project were my commitment and how much I wanted to do it and my weakness was the research part. Because no matter how much interest I had in the project but when I was researching I was restless.

My idea for this project was to show my peers that photography is more than taking pictures and that there is a lot of history behind the word photography. And that there is a lot of meaning behind it.

When doing this project I learned a lot apart from the history I learned about the first permanent photography and who made it. I learned about the older cameras that came before. And most importantly I learned about the most difficult times of photography and why it is easy now.

Goal # 10

My first goal was to learn as much as I can about photography. And for my 10th goal I did exactly that. I know so much about photography as I do now. So this project was a very important project to me because I learned a lot about one of the things that is important me.
