     In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist,
so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden.
That was the first photo.
     The  next  important  date  in  the  history of photography (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre,
another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a  new  kind  of  camera in a different
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.
