| | Bennett’s article contains two photographs that capture towns and their events. One is during the day and shows the daily activities of a town. Another is at night and shows all of the houses lit up and all of the boats tied down. They are more modern photographs and have vivid colors. On page 146 there are photographs from the 1950’s that are still in color and are a great improvement in color film. The film/digital camera industry has made great technological improvements, but what comes after digital cameras? –Samantha W. | | Bennett’s article contains two photographs that capture towns and their events.

| − | The sheer quantity of models developed is staggering. Just as impressive, though, is that for many of those new and more expensive models, vital aspects of photography--such as the quality and clarity of the resulting photo--would not be improved, and would oftentimes decrease in quality in successive products. The idea that even moderate success could be claimed by a product that produced poorer images than its predecessors is surprising, but there were instances in which just that happened. The drive to make the camera smaller, more portable, and more attractive actually decreased its ability to perform its function. --NIcole S | + | '''The sheer quantity of models developed is staggering.

| | In this excerpt Bennet writes about the history of coloured photography from the time that artists were painting in the colour on the photos as early as the 1800's. Colour has always been a necessary part of photography. We see too the drive to continually improve the camera to make it a motre sellable product. Sometimes we see though that perhaps this had a negative effect on the actual quality of the photo. We continue to attemp to achieve even greater heights in technological advancement, but like Samantha stated what will really come after digital? or have we reached a peak?
