I've been reading through the book from start to finish for a month now I
got it at Barnes and Noble for twelve dollars.
And I've never learned so much camera history not gotten a more clear idea
on how the whole photo thing came down.

But here is the movie! I think its ten minutes I'm halfway through it.

The book has one camera per page. For a encyclopedic coffee table almost
book its an amazing deal. I think of it was owning all those cameras.
Turning me into an instant camera history expert.
Though for awhile I was reading two pages a day. Every morning. Just after
getting up before my morning coffee.
