The camera took a great revolutionary part worldwide. The word 'camera' comes from the Latin 'camera' (vaulted room), which is a transliteration of the Greek word 'camara' (a vault, arched roof or ceiling, vaulted chamber; room). The word was also used as a contraction of 'camera obscura' (dark chamber; a black box with a lens that could project images of external objects), and thus it became the word for 'picture-taking device' (ewonago.wordpress.com). The history of the camera can be traced much further back than the introduction of photography. Cameras evolved from the camera obscura and continued to change through many generations of photographic technology, including daguerreotypes, calotypes, and dry plates film, and to the modern day with digital cameras. A boxlike device for holding a film or plate sensitive to light, having an aperture controlled by a shutter that, when opened, admits light enabling an object to be focused, usually by means of a lens, on the film or plate, thereby producing a photographic image (dictionary.com).
Cameras are in a way time capturing machine because in a way it captures a very brief 'moment' in the history of time. A moment we all 'cherish' a family portrait, that always makes us wonder what a moment it was. A moment when you were 'young' freezing time, something that cannot be done by the best of the best anti-aging serums. A moment to 'remember' the good time that you had like events, marriages, and functions. A moment that happened a 'few million years ago' like the birth of a star, or a nebula, or a cosmic event. A moment when 'light made its art form' like a dew shining in the morning, like the northern lights that dance the sky with its greenish charm.
Cameras are the most powerful weapons in the world, and it has multiple faces, which means it influences human life radically, whether the impact might be positive or negative, and moreover, sometimes cameras are a double-edged sword that can destroy any side because we don't take a photograph, we make it.
The camera was invented in the 18th century, and at that time it was not affordable for middle-class people, which means only rich people can afford it. Eastman Kodak introduced the new Brownie dollar box camera in 1900; the release was supported by a major advertising campaign. The name 'Brownie' was chosen primarily because of the popularity of a children's book of cartoons of the same name, and partly because the camera was initially manufactured for Eastman by Frank Brownell of Rochester, New York. In the olden days, cameras were used to take black and white photographs, nowadays color photographs are taken.
I remember that my maternal grandfather had a Brownie camera and he uses to be proud of having it. Because, nowadays the camera is easily accessible and available to almost everyone, but in the nineteenth century having the camera is a prestigious one. He captured many pictures using that camera, and it still hangs and decorates the walls of my grandparents' home. He did many adventures using his camera, and he shared his experience with me when I was a teeny girl. I remember an incident that he told me, and he was around 20 years old when the incident happened. One of his friends fall in love with the other caste girl, and in the nineteenth century, India’s caste system was ruled over all the people. His friend married the girl secretly with the help of a few of his friends. My grandfather is one among them, and he attended the marriage with his favorite camera, and he captured the marriage ceremony. Later my grandpa's friend was threatened by his parents and family members to leave the girl, and he got scared and left his wife. Also, he said he never married the girl, and the girl got shocked and complained to the police. The complained move to the court and the judge asks the evidence or eyewitness for the marriage, but no one was ready to show up in the court. In that critical situation, the girl's lawyer contacts my grandpa and ask about the marriage photographs, and my grandpa handed over the photo to him. The lawyer submitted photographs as evidence, and judgment was favorable to the girl. There is no way so later days both families were compromised, and the couples have lived a wonderful life. The camera rebonds the love couples.
