Information on how it works:
Gorge Eastman invented the camera in 1888.
The Kodak sold for only 25 dollars. The camera was a lightproof
box with a lens in the front and the film in the back. When you
clicked the shutter the lens opened and lights from the subject
stricks the film. The film was coated with light reacting chemicals,
and this created an image. Four years before Eastman invented
his camera he had invented a flexible roll-film system. It was
a paper backed film coated with a light sensitive gel. Five years
later the film was coated with celluloid. This made it cheaper
and easier to process.
