Overall, camera movements and positions effect the contemporary people’s impression of speed.

Our relationship with technology is constantly evolving. Perhaps, the human enhancements will be the common culture in next decade.

Camera Obscura as a first device, which uses a pinhole to project an image of the scene outside upside-down onto a viewing surface, possibly dating back to the ancient times. However, the first known product The ‘Kodak’ camera was developed by George Eastman and it sold in 1888. It was simple box camera with a single shutter speed and fixed focus lens.

The new images not only about the reproducing the existing reality but also about giving imaginative meaning the concepts. The risky situation of creating meaningless concepts always challenge the new way of image making.
