National Camera Day!

Smile! National Camera Day is June 29, a day to celebrate the fact that photography, once so complicated it took a chemist to understand, is now part of our everyday lives. The word “photography” is based on two Greek words that, when put together, mean “writing with light.’” It’s a beautiful way of describing what a camera lets us do — tell a story without the use of words.

Bring Along A Brownie

 

Kodak Brownie was the point & shoot camera of the 20th century, a mass produced camera in production for 80 years. From the first cardboard and wood model in 1900 to the last, compact moulded plastic cartridge loading pocket camera made in 1980, almost 100 cameras bore the famous name. Millions of them were produced.
