way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was
called Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre"s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all
around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and
moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines.
But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard. Mathew Brady was
a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual
because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的).
Photography also became a kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just
copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms. | 1. Who took the first photo?
