Photography = “Writing with Light” The process of photography uses film and chemicals to make images vs. digital imaging which uses computer technology.

The First photograph: By Niecephore Niepce circa 1826 HELIOGRAPH - writing with sun. A chemical process using silver chloride on sheets of pewter to create an image. Niepce was a Frenchman who is credited with the first photograph ever made. Other attempts had been made before this but it wasn’t until Niepce’s Heliograph that a real photograph was born. Exposure time was nearly 8 hours, quality was poor, but it had worked.

First Daguerreotype, by Louis Daguerre ”Boulevard du Temple", taken by Louis Daguerre in late 1838 or early 1839, was the first-ever photograph of a person. It is an image of a busy street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the city traffic was moving too much to appear. The exception is a man in the bottom left corner, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show up in the picture. 5

Edward Muybridge - sequence of a horse jumping Edward Muybridge - sequence of a horse jumping. This series of photos taken in Palo Alto, California, is called Sallie Gardner at a Gallop or The Horse in Motion

Students do not need to write this. Teacher tells story verbally. In 1872, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, a businessman and race-horse owner, had taken a position on a popularly- debated question of the day: whether all four of a horse's hooves left the ground at the same time during a gallop. Stanford sought out Muybridge and hired him in 1878 to settle the question. The hooves do all leave the ground — although not with the legs fully extended forward and back, as contemporary illustrators tended to imagine, but rather at the moment when all the hooves are tucked under the horse as it switches from "pulling" with the front legs to "pushing" with the back legs.

The first color photo was taken in 1861 by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. The first fully practical color plate, Autochrome, did not reach the market until 1907.

Kodak, (one of the largest photo companies in the world) introduced the first commercially successful box camera for roll film in 1898 -- the advertising slogan being “You press the button – we do the rest.”
