I always feel like watching beautiful things, ppl all enjoy appreciating beautiful things. I usually read at level 3 in the library where I can find some books about art design, advertisement, and photography. Those silent images are not in any action, not animation, they can't speak, but they are speaking to you, in some way.

The history of camera sounds very interesting. In Germany, Jihann Heinischulze, a professor of the university of Altdorf, found by accident that silver nitrate darkened when the light touch it for long period of time. But it was not until 1826 that a French lithographer-inventor, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, applied recent discoveries about light-sensitive compounds and finally supplied the missing element. Niépce coated a sheet of pewter with an asphalt solution, inserted it in an artist's camera obscura . After an exposure of eight hours he succeeded in making the world's first photograph: a dim, fuzzy image of his view of courtyard buildings in Southern Francefrom his window.

The exposure time was reduced to 20 minutes in 1984, which means the models had to stand there without any obvious muscle for twenty mins.. The left picture is the first photo in the world, certainly it can't be compared with the high resolution, quality photos today, but this first one has the longest history.

There's always a story behind every phohto, the pictures speak themselves. Sometimes I wonder what another person has been through, I wish I could see what another pair of eyes see, which must differ from what I can get, though we target one same thing. I find sth photoblogs which have all kinds of photos following, hope you could enjoy them. Standing on other ppl point of views, in different angles, you can see something in more various perspectives.
