Celebrate National Camera Day with us
According to the National Day Calendar, it’s a day to celebrate one of the things photographers can’t live without, our cameras.
This is quoted directly from their site:
Everything comes into focus on June 29 each year when we recognize National Camera Day. The day commemorates photographs, the camera, and their invention. A camera is an irreplaceable tool used to record and replicate memories, events, and people/places.
Before the invention of the camera, the only resource to document a vision was a painting. Capturing an image of a person or place in a drawing took time and skill. Very few people can perfectly draw the likeness of someone, let alone capture the essence of an event.

The power of a camera provided many with a simple, inexpensive, and fast solution. George Eastman, also known as “The Father of Photography,” brought the camera to the masses. While he did not invent the camera, he did develop many additions to improve the use, ease, and production of the camera. His developments made the camera widely available to homes around the world.
How can you celebrate National Camera Day?
Get your camera out of that bag it’s been sitting in. Clean it up, dust it off and head out exploring. Can’t head out anywhere? Go check out what’s in your backyard or grab some kitchen utensils and play on the kitchen table.
Whether you use a film camera, DSLR, mirrorless or your phone, the possibilities are endless!
