This document provides a brief history of photography from its origins to modern times. It traces the development of the medium from early experimentation using cameras obscura to the work of pioneers like Fox Talbot, Daguerre, and Brady. Key developments that are mentioned include the card de visite format, advances in capturing action with Muybridge, and innovative photographic techniques developed by Man Ray, Adams, Uelsmann, and others.
