In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images (图像). But it was not until the early 1890s that men found a way to make the pictures permanent(持久的). Even then, photography(摄影术) was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by photographers. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film (冲洗胶卷) were too difficult. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that could fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their films, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the films were developed, and pictures were made. Then more films were put into the cameras, which were sent back to the owners, along with their pictures.Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own films. Photography has become a growing hobby. There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers help scientists by taking pictures through microscopes(显微镜) and telescopes（望远镜）. Deep-sea drivers take pictures of oceans’ plants and animals, while astronauts take their cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the camera every day.36.
