Long ago, people wanted pictures. Cameras were new.

---PAGE---

Early cameras were big boxes. They used light to make images.

---PAGE---

A person had to sit still. The picture took a long time.

---PAGE---

The room had to be bright. The camera faced the light.

---PAGE---

A plate inside caught the image. The plate needed time.

---PAGE---

The person stayed very still. The camera did its work.

---PAGE---

At last the plate was ready. The maker washed it carefully.

---PAGE---

A picture appeared on the plate. It looked like a real scene.

---PAGE---

People were amazed by the photo. They wanted more pictures.

---PAGE---

That is how the first photo was made. Photos have improved since then.
