Post #10 - Lecture - Photography and Printed Media

 All of art started with simple either intentional or non-intentional pieces of art in caves, in which it is thought people used these images to communicate or even use them as some sort of storytelling to pass down stories. Information was then passed down by monks who acquired information and news and inscribed it onto slabs, or early on paper. The industrial revolution then brought with it the invention of the printing press, which allowed information to be passed out and seen by more and more people as it got more popular and easier to make; with some changes, the Letterpress was also designed as another method of communication. However, once advancements were more affordable a digital version of this was created which took out the manual portion of this process, allowing for the computer to basically do the job for you. As times changed and got even more technologically advanced with the invention of photography, which allowed people to have the easiness to capture a moment instead of having to describe it or paint it.  WIth photography getting popular around the world after being invented scientists and inventors were trying to figure out a way to make the way a picture was taking less time consuming and allowing the photographers to be able to be more flexible to situations and emotions that are trying to be captured. With many different styles that were acquired from all kinds of photographers and how they uniquely capture, from coloring to composition and perspective.  In 1888 the most significant tool that was invented was the Kodak  #1 which came with 100 exposure.
