Amazing! I am not a photographer but a book worm so just to add some value I'll share my knowledge about photography. The word "photography" comes from ancient Greek and is derived from the word "phos" for light or brightness and the word "grapho" for painting, drawing, writing and scribing.

Even the well-known camera has its name not only since yesterday. Already in the 11th century there were "dark chambers" (camera obscura), from whose origin the today's designation results.
Although photography itself was defined as an image by the end of the 20th century, projected onto a photosensitive surface with the help of chemical substances, it has long ceased to be. Nowadays photography is much more than that, from the way was long ago.
