This post is extremely personal for me. I gave birth to twin girls at only 25 weeks pregnant on January 24, 2009. I just opened up an Online album of some pictures that I stored away on Photobucket in 2010, and decided that it was time to share them. Note: I am OK with you […]

So, I have been taking a lot of photos of my own face, which I promise I won’t subject you to! However, this practice has spurred me to write a new post in photoluminary. I suppose that I’ve had a bit of writer’s block in recent days. It happens to everyone from time to time […]

Digital photography has made the use of film almost entirely obsolete. There are however some advantages to using film, which digital photography so far does not offer. Higher Resolution For one, film offers images that can be viewed at higher resolutions. This is because film offers images that have true curves, since the image was […]

The history of cameras goes back further than most people realize. In the 16th and 17th centuries, cameras were able to project images onto paper and glass. However, printing the images captured by early cameras was not to come for many more years. Camera Obscura Early scientists up until about the 17th century thought that […]
