Thus I believe the first form of camera was invented sometime before Christ.".

A famous photographer named Ansel Adams, from the begining of the 19th century, is his favorite."
Glancing back at her text Zoe noticed something called the camera obscura and looking up adding, "I believe that in c1021 Ibn al-Haytham described the way camera obscura's worked for the first time, which technically were the first camera's. They were used by cave muggles they say to get cave paintings in deep caves."
"So the first camera was probably technically a hole in a animal hide when people lived in caves or huts. Although I believe my grandfather told me once that the first camera obscura was built by Abu Ali-Hasan Ibn al-Haitham between 965 and 1039." Thank goodness for her Grandfather DeValk.

"Yes, those are all excellent answers!", he said enthusiastically. "Five points to Gryffindor for the great contributions. It seems like some of you have used cameras before, am I right? Has anyone ever heard of something called a
Brownie camera, and who made it?"
