Tip of the Month (July-08) - Photographer's Warehouse: "The History of Photography, Beaumont Newhall
1550: The first camera was the camera obscura, which means dark room in Italian. Shutters were closed to darken a room. A small hole was drilled in the wall which projected an inverted image on the opposite wall. The camera was reduced in size to 2' x 4' box with a lens. The image was projected on a sheet of paper, and traced with a pencil by an artist."
