American photography began as getting a picture painted. Since the 1900's Americans created the first camera, brownie-box camera. For 80 years the brownie was used all over America to capture images people never want to forget. Soon photo montage's were created, where you can take a picture and make something in it appear real. Before you could put pictures in a book, you had to glue them in one by one. In 1980 they developed a way to print pictures on paper and were then able to make books faster and newspapers better.
Cameras weren't just used to capture images of the good things, but also to capture the bad. People wanted to see the real world, what's behind every door. They got to see pictures of celebrities and how they actually live their lives behind all the fame. They also got to see stuff like natural disasters and how those who were poor lived. They also seen pictures of dead people and people who were hurt. Photographers also took pictures of children who were being over worked with low pay.
Over the years cameras have developed in a way that's changed history as American's see it. With all the technology that's been created we are able to take clear pictures and upload them so the world can see them.
