Brownie Camera

1. What is a Brownie Camera?
The brownie cameras are the first real portable cameras that allowed anyone to take pictures at a figurativley low priced camera.
2. Who invented it, and when?
It was created by Eastman Kodak in the 1900's but they didn't start taking off until the 1950's
3. How did it change society, and of course, the photography world?
It changed society because suddenly people could catch moments in life and remeber them, they didn't have to go in and pose for pictures, but rather take them themselves in their own lives. The photgraphy world took its own twist with newer technology advancing home pictures and snapshots, creating a greater demand for film and people who had the ability to develop them. Overall, this was the first big jump in the photography world, and without it we wouldn't have things like camera phones and digital cameras.
