The Birth of Photography and Film

It's funny how it only takes one or two people to truly make history and change our world with one invention.  Creators like Edison and MuyBridge came up with the idea of photography and moving pictures, later developing into the movie film and digital cameras we know and use so well today.

I definitely found the whole phenomenon of people filling in the gaps that photography would leave in order to give the illusion of motion, with images in their minds that had been burned in their retina.  It is truly fascinating how big of a role psychology and other related theories play into the invention of photography and film.  It is also interesting how these ideas are still used today in animation and other forms of entertainment.
