Photography between the 1900′s and the 1910′s
1900s, vintage cameras were mainly constructed of wood, metal parts (usually brass) - sometimes nickel plated and were often fashionably maroon in colour.
Some cameras used in this time were ;
They are extremely common and can be picked up for as little as £1. These three are all Kodak examples.

Images between the 1900′s and 1910′s
These images all have that really vintage feel with the clothing and the black and white effect that the old cameras capture.
These images are of a low quality, although in that decade it was the best images you could capture with the type of camera used, I really like these images as they take you back to those times.
A common explanation for the lack of smiles in 19th century photographs is that, because it took so long to capture a photograph back then, people in pictures couldn't hold a smile for long enough.
Things that changed throughout the 1900′s to the 1910′s in photography
1901 – Kodak introduces the 120 film format.
1902 – Arthur Korn devises practical telephotography technology (reduction of photographic images to signals that can be transmitted by wire to other locations).
1907 – The Autochrome plate is introduced. It becomes the first commercially successful color photography product.
1908 – Kinemacolour a two-color process known as the first commercial "natural color" system for movies, is introduced.
1909 – Kodak announces a 35 mm "safety" motion picture film on an acetate base as an alternative to the highly flammable nitrate base.

Tešila som sa do galérie, ale čiastočne aj v očakávaní kľudu a znudených študentov umenia strážiacich expozíciu. Omyl! Pamrte tichých návštevníkov, ktoí poctivo prechádzali miestnosti, čítali popisky a tvárili sa dumavo. (zrkadlá a farebné sklenné dosky na piesku) Tehlové budovy samotného Haus der Photographie a okolia mi hneď pripomenuli Krakow a dodali dôvod tešiť sa na jeseň a zimu. Neviem aké podniky to navštívil (a ofrflal) vyhlásený vegán Martin S., ale Nasch bol veľmi naporiadku. Kuchyňa a interiér aký by robili kundy crew. Za quiche so šalátom som dala 5 eur, za obrovský cookie naložený čoko krémom a arašidmi 2 (Bratiska chod dopekla). Plagát na stene pozýval na koncert proti G20. Na najväčšej demonštrácii sa očakáva 100 000 ľudí, policajtov zvolali 20 000. Musím sa dopátrať čím to je, že má Hamburg historicky tak početnú ľavicovú zložku. Obyvatelia sú tiež nasratí, že zorganizovali stretnutie uprostred mesta, a buzerujú a obmedzujú ľudí.
