Camera Pictures: A press Camera can do the job, but a smaller Camera which you can operate faster, such as a twin-lens reflex, will be more satisfactory.
On the occasions when the party gets a little wild, you will have entirely too many opportunities to shoot action and humor and romance and drama and a lot of other intriguing elements in your pictures, but you'll escape a lot of headaches if you will pass up these pictures altogether. You had best make a graceful exit or at least put your Camera away before you join in the merriment.Dealers in building materials and manufacturers of home appliances will become customers for your pictures later,for advertising purposes, but not until you've progressed to the point where your work is appearing in the magazines and the home sections of newspapers. Then these buyers will come to you and pay you excellent rates. For that reason, keep the magazines in mind, and whenever you photograph a particularly striking home, let the editors see your pictures. Not only will the magazines add nobly to your income, but they'll give you also the best advertising you can get when they print your pictures. Your equipment for this work must meet certain rigid standards but will not be as expensive as you might think. Your entire outfit can be bought for about the price of a good miniature. The view Camera is absolutely a must. No other Camera will do the job as well. The prime advantage of the view Camera for architectural work is its ability, through use of the rising front, and other movements, to make vertical lines register as parallels on the negative, rather than converging as they recede upward from the Camera level, the way they really do as seen by the eye. The various swings and tilts of the view Camera are a great convenience.
Camera pictures have been made ever since the late Renaissance. The principle of the Camera had long been known: light entering a minute hole in the Wall of a darkened room forms on the opposite Wall an inverted image of whatever lies outside. The use of the Camera obscura (literally "dark room") for the production of pictures, however, was not realized until a century after geometrical linear perspective had been conceived by Leon Battista Alberti and his Florentine colleagues Filippo Brunelleschi and Donate Bramante. |
