Chap 14 reading

Chapter 14 was a very interesting chapter. It took a lot of time to read because the chapter was a bunch of historical stories about photography and how it affected the world and America. My favorite story in the chapter was have photography and "snapshots" were invented. It was very interesting to me that the first "snapshot" photo actually took 8 hours to develop. Also how snapshot cameras were not the first pictures ever taken because there have been pictures from as far back as the Civil War. Also, it was interesting how the first snapshot camera was made. Also how it only cost $25 which today would be very cheap but back then was quite pricey. Nevertheless, the article describes how now there has been several billion snapshots taken since that day and how the world relies so much on photographs. I also liked the article named America: 24/7. It described a lot on how America relies on photography and how it can deeply affect our culture.
