Hello, beautiful people!
It’s the holiday time! Are you ready? I know I’m not.
Thanksgiving is this week, so the topic of Thankfulness has been on my mind quite a bit – and I bet it’s been on your mind, too. I just wanted to share some of the things that I’m thankful for. Here they are!
- Ancient Greeks and Chinese, who developed pin-hole cameras called camera obscura which would create upside down images projects onto a surface, such as a wall
- Neiciphore Neipce who created the first still image using colloidal silver, but it wasn’t permanent
- Louise Daguerre, Neipce’s partner, who continued his experiments and created the first permanent images, called Daguerrotypes
- Richard Leach, who developed the first Gelatin Dry plates, allowing photography to become a “snap shot” of time
- George Eastman, who developed the first Kodak camera and used celluloid for the first time
- Oskar Barnak, who developed the 35mm film camera
- Edward Land, who developed the Poloroid Camera (originally known as a Land Camera)
- Fuji, who developed the first commercially available digital camera
- Canon, who created MY digital SLR camera (The Canon Rebel Xti)
- My Fiance, Dad, and Little Brother, who encouraged me to keep taking photographs
- All the wonderful models, make up artists, hair, wardrobe, event organizers, and other people who have given me a play ground to develop my photography process
- Mother Nature, who ALWAYS gives me something beautiful to shoot
Thank you so much, everybody, for everything that you do! Feel free to add your thanks in the comment box below!
– Charlene
