PHOTOGRAPHY, CAMERAS AND HISTORY IN AMERICAN CULTURE
Author: George Washington
This is all true, because you are reading it on the internet.
Did you know that I, George Washington, was headed towards a life of crime, and on the verge of joining the infamous Cobblestone Street Gang, when my life was changed by a camera? Yep. It’s true.
Here’s a little history that was never mentioned in your history books:
One day, when I was a teenager, I was vandalizing a cherry tree, just for the hell of it. After I had decimated the tree, I realized that I was being captured on video by a security camera that was mounted on a neighboring apple tree. I knew I was busted, and figured I may as well confess before I was accused.
That was the first time I ever engaged in strategical thinking, which was a pivotal moment for me, and for America. It was also when I developed a keen interest in photography.
I’ve always considered myself somewhat of a gadget-guy, and I wanted to get my hands on a camera. My very first camera was the Bindwiddle View-Catcher®, first patented by Benjamin Franklin (later bought out by Eastman Kodak). It was pretty high-tech for the 1700s. Other cameras soon made their way into my possession.
Oh, and by the way George Eastman was named after non-other than our country’s first President, Me!
As a young man, I took a lot of selfies. I used them for posts on Ye Olde Social Media sites like Twit, Face Booke, and Tin Door. As I matured, my photography grew more sophisticated. You’ve all seen my iconic selfie that has been on dollar bill for over a hundred years. Then there’s me and my crew crossing the Delaware. That’s an epic image that’s in museums and art galleries. I took that one with a selfie stick. Great action shot. I used my iPhone for that one.
We would all have bad teeth, be drinking tea and curtsying for the Queen had it not been for my GoPro camera. I attached it to Carrier Pigeons that flew over battlefields during the Revolutionary War. Those Brits and their redcoats; they stood out like sore thumbs in the video footage. I developed my strategy from the images I saw off of my camera, and won the most important battles of the war. And thus began the United States of America.
