Scenarist And Film -maker: 14 The Italian scenarist and film -maker and film-maker Cesare Zavattini wrote the text for Un Paese (1955) to accompany photographs taken in his native village of Luzzara.15 Strand's later books explore a wide range of countries, from the Hebrides to Egypt and Ghana. He died in the village of Orgeval, France, in 1976. In 1914 Charles Sheeler began to discover with his Camera the beauty of indigenous American architecture, photographing with honest directness the texture of white painted and weathered wood, and the beautifully proportioned rectangular forms of Pennsylvania barns. First and foremost a painter, Sheeler had a keen appreciation of the photograph as a distinct medium.
Speedlights flash, the picture is taken, the film automatically advances, the shutter is cocked, and all is in readiness for the next child in the line. Similar cameras are available which operate with 35mm film. The smaller film cuts costs a bit but naturally the contact prints are not so appealing as those from the larger film.
At first the processing required complex machinery and precise control and, consequently, was done exclusively by the manufacturer. To answer the demand for a film the photographer could process himself, Ansco brought out in 1942 its Ansco-Color film, which was followed by Kodak's Ektachrome film; in both of these dye-couplers were incorporated into the separate emulsions.
