Yesterday I was at Mississinewa re-enactments of 1812. I was surprised to see it there and so I took a picture to share with the class. While Talbot was the first to make use of the Camera Obscura as a camera. It has been around longer. The box form of Camera Obscura was invented by Johann Zahn in 1685 and was just used for tracing and capturing a drawing of what the viewer would see through the lens. It was pretty cool to see how this worked in real life. Anyway, I figured I'd share.
I love the Mississinewa re-enactments! I used to be in it when i was little!
