Photographs

=**Photography **= = the first successful permanent picture taken was in 1826. = View from the Window at Le Gras, Saint-Loup-de-Varennes (France). This photo was taken from google images. **It was noticed** **that a sunbeam shining through a tiny hole into a dark room would leave a light drawing of whatever was outside the room on a surface. The objects are projected onto the wall/surface upside down so an artist would draw what they saw upside down.** **here is some of the history in bullet points.**

>  ** 1906: Availability of panchromatic black and white film and therefore high quality color separation color photography. J.P. Morgan finances Edward Curtis to document the traditional culture of the North American Indian. **
 * **16th century: Brightness and clarity of camera obscuras improved by enlarging the hole inserting a telescope lens**
 * **17th century: Camera obscuras in frequent use by artists and made portable in the form of sedan chairs**

 * **1851: Frederick Scott Archer, a sculptor in London, improves photographic resolution by spreading a mixture of collodion (nitrated cotton dissolved in ether and alcoohol) and chemicals on sheets of glass.
