National Camera Day/World Camera Day
-- a day established to celebrate photography and the invention of the camera. Today most of us have a camera in hand thanks to smartphones and tablets. That was far from the case in the past. The first cameras were so large and bulky, they required several people to operate.
Read: Camera: A History of Photography from Daguerreotype to Digital, by Todd Gustavson, George Eastman House
-- This gorgeous cornerstone volume celebrating the camera and the art of the photograph, created in collaboration with the George Eastman House, spans almost 200 years, from the first faint image ever caught to today's state-of-the-art digital equipment. The informative narrative by Todd Gustavson -- including insightful essays by Steve Sasson (inventor of the digital camera) and Alexis Gerard (visionary founder of Future Image Inc.) -- traces the camera's development, the lives of its inventors, and the artists behind the lens.
