In the mid-1820’s, Joseph Niepce used a camera obscura to permanently record an image on a light-sensitized metal plate, and at that point photography was effectively born.
Over the course of the next several decades, photographic methods evolved — from wet plate emulsions to dry plate, from glass plates to cut film — and in the late 1880’s, Eastman began marketing re-loadable “Kodak” roll film cameras. By the end of the decade, photography left the realm of the devoted enthusiast and entered the technical lexicon of everyday life.
In the early 1890’s, Thomas Edison introduced the Kinetoscope, an arcade apparatus that displayed a series of still images in rapid succession to create the illusion of a single moving image — what we now refer to as a motion picture.
Pictures were eventually augmented with sound, black & white gave way to color, and by the advent of the new millennium, 2 dimensional imagery had become 3 dimensional virtual reality.
