When is National Camera Day?

Thursday June 29th

Every year, when we celebrate National Camera Day, we bring everything into focus on June 29th. Photographs, the camera, and their invention are among the day's commemorated photographs. A camera is an irreplaceable device used to capture and replicate memories, events, and people/places. A painting was the only way to record a vision before the camera was invented. Capturing an image of a person or place in a drawing took time and patience. Very few people can accurately portray someone's likeness, let alone capture the essence of an event.
