June 29 marks National Camera Day!

Joseph Niépce is credited as the inventor of photography. He took the first permanent photographic image with a pinhole camera in 1827. The picture took eight hours of light exposure to create!

George Eastman, known as “The Father of Photography,” invented the Kodak camera. The camera was sold in 1888, helping make photography available to the public.
