Brownie Camera

1) What is a brownie camera?
The Brownie camera was a black, simple, rectangular box covered in fake leather, fitted. To take a picture, you just hold the camera waist height, aim, and turn the switch.
2) Who invented the Brownie camera?
George Eastman invented the Brownie camera. He worked at Kodak.
3) How did it change society and, of course, the photography world?
The camera was really affordable. Each was was only $1. And for only 15 cents, a Brownie camera owner could buy a six-exposure film cartridge that could be loaded in daylight. Plus, Kodak had promised to develop the film for the camera's owner instead of the owner having to invest in materials and a dark room. The brownie camera also allowed pictures of birthday parties and other events instead of just professional photos.
