May is National Photograph Month. The reason for photograph month is to celebrate the means of communication in the past and the future. Although there are no information on how the day was invented or created, people celebrate it by looking through pictures that were taken and to think back to the pictures. There are famous pictures that date back all the way to 1827. Back in the old days, photographs took a long time to produce because of the exposure for the picture to get ready. This is why pictures from the Victorian Era feature people with stern expressions, because those expressions were easy for the subject to hold. As the camera technology progressed and got better, film was produced. It was faster, but still took time to produce. Film images usually take about 13 steps to produce because of the different materials that are used. With film images, there are options for colors such as black and white and full color.
