BASIC PRINCIPLES

As everybody knows, an camera allows us to capture moments in time and to preserve those memories. The technology behind this all is fairly simple.

Every camera is made of three basis elements;

1. an optical element (the lens)
2. a chemical element (the film) 
3. a mechanical element (the camera body itself). 

When these three parts are perfectly combined, you've got yourself a photograph.

The camera I found and will discuss is a point-and-shoot camera. The camera did belong to my grand-father.
