In my childhood days camera was a very rare object and photography, a once-a-while activity. My first photo ( that also a group photo) was taken when I said good-bye to school, after finishing my intermediate (SSLC). It was a customary to take a group photo of the intermediate children, who permanently leave the school, in those days. Among other children's' peeping faces, mine also appeared as a dark dot.
Camera was also a formidable instrument those days. It was a big box, a full load for a man to carry. The box was fitted on a tripod and the photographer adjusts the focus by adjusting the telescopic slide from behind. After this he will look up with a smile at the group sitting (or standing) in front of him.
"Ready, smile please" (just look at the one I have fitted on my face!). Then in a flash of second he will pull out the shutter. The thing is finished!

Just compare the above box with the present day Androids. You may wonder, because the newer generation chaps might not have seen such a 'Camera Box'. Technology has made everything 'small', including man who gave birth to it.
