The camera has actually been around for hundreds maybe thousands of years - although film is much newer. - When light goes through a pin hole, the pin hole acts like lens - so a pin hole in a tent could result in an image being projected on the opposite side of the tent. - During the 15th century, lenses were used to produce a brighter image inside a box which was known as a camera obscura. Artists used the projected images as a guide to help them produce paintings with realistic prospective. In 1839, a Frenchman, Louis Daguerre, came up with a way to make the projected images permanent, on a shiny silvery piece of metal called a Daguerreotype. At about the same time, an Englishman, Henry Fox Talbot, independently came up with a way to make prints on paper. - Film as we know it, was not invented until late in the 19th century, when Kodak started producing it.

Somebody with a photographic memory. He was racing another inventor at the time, it was a photo finish. As the other dude was negative about everything, the first dude was positive he'd win. I shutter to think what the prize was. His slogan was "The F/stops here."
