The camera obscura, as mentioned previously, was a large room with a small hole where light could pass through. The development of camera obscura took two tracks. One of these led to portable box device that was a drawing tool. In 17th and 18th century, many artists were aided by use of camera obscura.

By beginning of 19th century, camera obscura was ready with little or no modification to accept a sheet of light sensitive material to become photographic camera. The other track became camera obscura room, a combination of education and entertainment.

In 19th century, with improved lenses that could cast larger and sharper images, camera obscura flourished at seaside and in areas of scenic beauty.

Of course now there are much more practical ways to take photographs. From traditional 35mm cameras to newest cellular phones equipped with digital cameras. Big ones, small ones, and anything else you can think of. There is a camera to fit your needs and lifestyle, or even your color preference. The world of photography has certainly grown a lot over years. Taking into consideration your usage when purchasing is key to investing in proper equipment.

A common theme is an entrepreneur starting out maybe with his/her own product website on internet. He/She achieves a little bit of success, see's another avenue where business might grow and dives in without thinking. It might work, but odds are against it. In meantime his initial planned strategy is being totally neglected of resources and time. Multiply this scenario by 3 or 4 and you've got a problem. You will end up dabbling in different areas and not totally concentrating on one.

This goes back to my earlier point, it will not happen overnight. You have to give your business time. You will probably work hardest and be most frustrated for first 8-12 months. If you can focus on business plan goals for this time period, your odds for making it are much higher. Try to ignore other opportunities for time being, at least until you get your business off ground. When you get to that stage, then fun starts and then you can try other things knowing that you have built a solid business which will be there to protect you if your other ideas don’t work out.
