When learning about the Camera Obscura it had confused me very much. I had no clue what it did and how it was made. When Abelardo Morell came in to picture, his work totally made me understand the camera. The camera takes an image and mirror images it upside down, the image could be still or in movement. Abelardo's work is very interesting, he takes a landscape with the obscura and shows it in a room. For example one piece was New York City upside down in a bedroom.
When learning about Abelardo our class went into a gallery with a human size camera obscura, which was shooting a still life. We went in and other classmates got to move to still life around which made a very creepy image in the camera. This Camera is very neat, I enjoyed this class very much. I have never heard of this device before and I am definitely going to look more into it.
