Joe and a 1913 still camera.
What cameras did your family use to take pictures, movies and videos of your pets and loved ones? This camera is from 1913, while the cat is 100 years more current. It’s fun to look at the history and evolution of cameras. Cameras were invented in the 1700s, but the first photograph to last and not fade away in a few hours, was taken in France in 1826 by Joseph Nicephore. The single picture took 8 hours to expose, and lots of chemical processes to “fix” so it would not fade. It was a laborious process that remained the purview of scientists and professionals until the early 1900s. Even as recent as the 1990s, photography required some effort and time. People had to take their film to photo labs to get it processed and printed. We had to choose our shots carefully, because we were limited by the number of frames on a roll of film. Now, we can take pictures and video on our phones, and share them with the world in seconds. At Patchin Pictures, we use the most current technology to preserve people’s pictures and movies from some of the oldest technology as old as 100 years or more. We love it all.
