The old to the new

Photographs are real experiences captured that make up, and thicken, the environment we recognize as today. Photography commenced through the invention and development of the first camera in the early 1800’s. People used the camera obscure for viewing or drawing purposes, in apposed to making photographs. It was not until the early 1940’s that the colour photographs were invented and from then on, photography has never been the same. The change in the digital era of technology has made it capable for the ordinary person to capture photos and upload/share them instantaneously. John Urry (2000, 104–105, 126, 129) uses the expression instantaneous time in explaining how the changing notion of communication has now allowed information to be transmitted immediately across the globe.
