....... there would be no Blifoto! There would be no reason for it to exist! Admittedly the internet also plays a part!


The camera is among the most important of technological inventions, taking various forms and serving countless purposes. Cameras actually predate photography, since early cameras were able only to reflect an image where it could be observed or traced by hand. Modern photography arrived in the 19th century and has continued to evolve into the digital age.
As early as the 11th century, the idea of the camera was already being developed. Working in the region that is modern-day Iraq, inventor Ibn al-Haytham made notes about a camera obscura, which used a lens to focus light inside a dark box. An image of whatever the lens was pointed at appeared on a paper surface inside the box.
In the 13th century, English scholar Roger Bacon adapted the camera obscura to produce the first pinhole camera, which admitted light through a tiny hole rather than a glass lens.
In 1827, French inventor Joseph Niépce produced the first permanent photograph by using a silver-coated plate of his own design in a wooden box camera produced by Charles Chevalier.
In the late 19th century, the development of roll film revolutionized cameras. Introduced by George Eastman through his company, Eastman Kodak, roll film allowed for the development of small, inexpensive cameras that were affordable for the masses and simple to operate. Photography became a middle-class hobby rather than a luxury reserved for the elite.
Prototype digital cameras, which used an electronic sensor instead of film to record an image as a digital file, were first built in the 1970s. Digital cameras became available on the consumer level in the 1990s and surpassed the sales of film cameras in the early 2000s. Today digital cameras are available in consumer and professional models and are integrated into other devices such as laptop computers and cell phones.
