Pinhole Camera
Pinhole Camera - A camera that has a small hole on the front, allowing minimal light into it. Projecting an image onto a screen in the back of box.
In the 5th century, philosophers such as Aristotle and Mo Ti created the first ideas of the pinhole camera. Aristotle wrote images of the camera, Mo Ti discovered the inverted nature of the early day pinhole camera.
Within the 4th century Arabian mathematician Alhazen proposed the idea of using the pinhole camera to view the solar eclipse. Leonardo De Vinci also described the camera in his notebooks. Giovanni Battista Della Porta described the camera in detail. Although many people had described and used the pinhole camera it took centuries to be put to use in a photographic sense. Staring in the 19th century the introduction of light sensitive surfaces were introduced with the camera, Frenchman Joseph Nicophore Niepce was the first to put it all together and use it.
Scientist Sir John Hershel found a method to fix the images produced from the camera in 1839. The name of the camera was coined by Sir David Brewster who wrote a book called The Stereoscope which mentioned the word 'pin-hole' in regards to the camera.
Technology continued to advance and grew past the pinhole camera but it is still used today as a way to look into the past.
