Weekly Vocab

Premo Camera: box camera is a simple type of camera, the most common form being a cardboard or plastic box with a lens in one end and film at the other. They were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lenses are often single element designs meniscus fixed focus lens, or in better quality box cameras a doublet lens with minimal (if any) possible adjustments to the aperture or shutter speeds. Because of the inability to adjust focus, the small lens aperture and the low sensitivity of the sensitive materials available, these cameras work best in brightly lit day-lit scenes when the subject is within the hyper focal lenses for the lens and of subjects that move little during the exposure — snapshots. 
Photo-secession: The Photo-Secession was an early-20th-century movement that promoted photography as a fine art in general and photographic pictorialism particular. 
Pictorialism: refers to a style in which the photographer has somehow manipulated what would otherwise be a straightforward photograph as a means of "creating" an image rather than simply recording it.
