“Seventy percent of the body’s sense receptors are clustered in the eyes, and it is mainly through seeing the world that we appraise and understand it.” -Diane Ackerman
“As we know, the eye works a lot like the camera; or rather,We invented cameras to work like our eyes.” --Diane Ackerman
The principle upon which all camera equipment works is traced back to artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci who showed that all that was needed to project an image was a small pinhole through which light could pass. The smaller the hole the sharper the image. The basic camera, called a "camera obscura" or pinhole camera, existed in the early 17th Century.
