In Camera, Lights, Digital I, Walter Bower teaches the history of photography which began many centuries ago with the camera obscura, or darkened room. Over the years the camera obscura was used to cast an image onto paper where it was traced until someone figured out how to expose the image onto a a silver covered plate, thus a permanent "photographic" image was preserved.
Now, camera obscura takes on a new dimension with the work of artist Abelardo Morell which can be seen here: http://www.abelardomorell.net/
