  • 1. Before Photography
    1. Before Photography Part 1: Discovering Light The most basic aspect of photography is our understanding of how light works, and the first known writings on this come from well over two thousand years ago in China. Mo Ti (later known as Mo Tsu) was a philosopher who lived from 470 to 391 BC. Unlike most philosophers he came from a poor background, perhaps why his teachings were based on the conviction that all men were of equal worth. His followers or 'Moists' were taught that right living demanded they take responsibility for the well being of others and ensured that their actions did not harm others, but practised a universal love for others. If people follow this path, the world is 'ordered and peaceful,' if not, 'the world becomes disorder, violent, and chaotic.' Although difficult to argue against, these ideas did not generally win the affection of the rich and powerful, and Moism soon died out. Mo Ti also thought deeply about the natures of shadows, realising that they were formed by light travelling in straight lines, the first recorded law of optics. He also was able to use this to explain why the images formed when light entered a darkened room through a small aperture were inverted, so can be credited both with recognising the role of an aperture in forming an image and also with an understanding of what later became known as the 'camera obscura' which will be looked at in more detail in a later section. Back in the more primitive west, the Greek philosophers were also noticing similar effects.
