Brownie Camera

1. What is a Brownie Camera?
         A brownie camera is a cheap, easy to use, black box camera. It uses film and a picture is taken with the click of a button, with the camera held at the waist. 
2. Who invented it, and when?

         The Eastman Kodak Company first introduced the Brownie camera in 1900. 
3. How did it change society, and of course, the photography world? 

          Because the price of the Brownie camera was so low, many more people were able to purchase them. The film was also easier to get developed, so people wouldn't have to spend so much money on materials for development. The Brownie camera was super easy to use, so marketers targeted mainly children. Before, photography was expensive and left to the professionals, but with the Brownie camera, millions of people could take pictures whenever they wanted, at whatever event they chose, for little to no money.
