Abstract As an Author, Media Arts Specialist, License Cultural Practitioner and Publisher I have always advocated that metaphorically and symbolically people function as conduits1 by being transmissive, focussing and or disperses their ideology which are a set of beliefs, doctrines that back a certain social institution or a particular organization. Correspondingly, they Philosophy2 refers to looking at life in a pragmatic manner and attempting to understand why life is as it is and the principles governing behind it. For example,

developing mindfulness in photography is therapeutic because it unmasks the realities we thought we knew. Photography is a form of self-expression. This is therapeutic because it enables people to enhance understanding and learning; which is also a way of healing. Photography helps improve every day experiences.3 William Anderson Gittens Author, Cinematographer,Dip., Com., Arts.

The focus of our parting conversation was about me honing my writing skills after I had graduated and

returned to Barbados. Between the period 1995 to 2016, I have discovered that the more that I practice this

leisure pursuit profession it seemed to be infectious among other elements. The other elements such as being

passionate and prolific combined together with the Creator’s help, made me a productive writer to the extent

that I have now published 156 E-Publications. In light of the aforesaid, I have decided to dedicate my 66

HISTORY

It is reported via the annals of history that Picture therapy is the use of visual prompts in treatments like

speech, psychological, or occupational therapy programs. The therapist can integrate the use of visual

communication and analysis of images into the program.4Photography is the result of combining several

technical discoveries, relating to seeing an image and capturing the image. The discovery of the camera

obscura ("dark chamber" in Latin) that provides an image of a scene dates back to ancient China. Greek

mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid independently described a camera obscura in the 5th and 4th centuries

BCE.5In the 6th century CE, Byzantine mathematician Anthemius of Tralles used a type of camera obscura

in his experiments.6The Arab physicist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) also invented a camera

obscura as well as the first true pinhole camera.78The invention of the camera has been traced back to the

earlier,10Ibn al-Haytham gave the first correct analysis of the camera obscura,11 including the first

But his treatment of it was competently geometrical and quantitative for the first time.”

side.13He also first understood the relationship between the focal point and the pinhole,14and performed early

experiments with afterimages, laying the foundations for the invention of photography in the 19th century.15

Leonardo da Vinci mentions natural camera obscura that are formed by dark caves on the edge of a sunlit

valley. A hole in the cave wall will act as a pinhole camera and project a laterally reversed, upside down

image on a piece of paper. Renaissance painters used the camera obscura which, in fact, gives the optical 13 "Who Invented Camera Obscura?". Photography History Facts. “All these scientists experimented with a small hole and light but none of them suggested that a screen is used so an image from one side of a hole in surface could be projected at the screen on the other. First one to do so was Alhazen (also known as Ibn al-Haytham) in 11th century.”

Retrieved 5 September 2016. “The genius of Shen Kua's insight into the relation of focal point and pinhole can better be appreciated when we read in Singer that this was first understood in Europe by Leonardo da Vinci (+ 1452 to + 1519), almost five hundred years later. A diagram showing the relation occurs in the Codice Atlantico, Leonardo thought that the lens of the eye reversed the pinhole effect, so that the image did not appear inverted on the retina; though in fact it does. Actually, the analogy of focal-point and pin-point must have been understood by Ibn al-Haitham, who died just about the time when Shen Kua was born.” ^

rendering in colour that dominates Western Art. It is a box with a hole in it which allows light to go through

and create an image onto the piece of paper.

The birth of photography was then concerned with inventing means to capture and keep the image produced

by the camera obscura. Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) discovered silver nitrate,16 and Georg

Fabricius (1516–1571) discovered silver chloride,17 and the techniques described in Ibn al-Haytham's Book

of Optics are capable of producing primitive photographs using medieval materials.18Daniele

Around the year 1800, British inventor Thomas Wedgwood made the first known attempt to capture the

image in a camera obscura by means of a light-sensitive substance. He used paper or white leather treated

with silver nitrate. Although he succeeded in capturing the shadows of objects placed on the surface in direct

Singer that this was first understood in Europe by Leonardo da Vinci (+ 1452 to + 1519), almost five

hundred years later. A diagram showing the relation occurs in the Codice Atlantico, Leonardo thought that

the lens of the eye reversed the pinhole effect, so that the image did not appear inverted on the retina; though

in fact it does. Actually, the analogy of focal-point and pin-point must have been understood by Ibn al-
