Fiddlin' Around

 


Friday, June 29 is the deadline day for next week's paper, as the plans are that we will be mailing it a day earlier on Tuesday, July 3, not Wednesday, July 4.

Friday is also National Camera Day, which I bet you really didn't know! I certainly didn't! But photography and cameras have evolved so much and are essentially integrated into day-to-day life in this social-media digital age. Everybody can be photographers. And it's wonderful that cameras haven't totally disappeared like some other aspects of history, though you might not always recognize them.

Indeed I found these five facts about cameras in an internet article.

#1-There are 12 Hasselblad Cameras on the moon (remember the Apollo 11 moon landing?),

#2-You actually do have a "good side" (it's the left side of your face, according to researchers),

#3-There's a camera lens that weights 564 pounds and it's the world's largest non-military telephoto lens;

#4-The Selfie was invented in 1839 by a photographer Robert Cornelius and

#5-Death photography was once a common thing. I'll have to explain that one a bit. Post-mortem photography was very normal for families in Victorian England and early America who wanted a photo with their deceased loved ones.
