History of Photography

On March 9th, 2007 Eric and Marian Gibson from Heritage Mississauga were our guests and treated us to a very interesting presentation on the history of photography. We saw slides containing the oldest surviving photograph, various images by photographers such as Man Ray, etc. Marian and Eric also brought along some vintage cameras for us to examine, including the Brownie, the Instamatic (didn't we all have one of these?), the Polaroid Instant Camera and the Single Lens Reflex (SLR). As usual, there was more interest and content than time permitted ... we hope Eric and Marian will join us again soon.
