How do you email an .avi file that you shot using a digital camera if your computer says it is too big?

Break apart and send as multiple e-mails. OE, tools, options. Sending video in an e-mail is a bad idea. Most servers will time out or simply not send it. Even if it sends, the recipient will have a long wait to download unless he has very high speed INTERNET. You can use a large file sender such as Pando.

Are there dangers associated with using a digital camera?

Taking pictures of Sean Penn -- with any type of camera -- without his permission, has proved to be dangerous. It often leads to a black eye. Is this a Joke? What do mean by dangers? Have you used an olden days camera before? Digital Camera are pretty safe, as long as you don't use a nuclear powered model or Osama's Fav Terrorist Brand :P Okay, here's another danger associated with today's high-tech camera technology. Without having to wind, roll, forward, reload and so on, you can keep clicking off pictures within seconds of each other. As you are busy running after your kid in the yard and snapping away those digital images, remember to watch where you are going - deep ditches that contain about eight inches of disgusting water are not fun to fall in - particularly when you have an expensive toy in your hand. :-)

Does someone photographed in public have certain rights to the photograph?

The answer is both yes and no.

Photography is a pastime that enjoys protection under various laws that apply to freedom of speech. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is governed by Article 19. It is most famously a part of the United States Bill of Rights Article I, which states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. "

News agencies and journalists, in general, seek relief from governmental suppression of information by citing freedom of speech statutes in each country that recognize this to be a fundamental human right. This means that the free exchange of words, pictures, videos, music, and other methods of communication are protected.

But there are limitations. Governments have the right to develop laws that prescribe certain injunctions, or restrictions, against the use of photographs in certain situations. The right to free speech, for instance, does not apply to the taking of and/or promotion of child pornography, which is a felony or capital offense in most countries. In a broad sense, any photography that is contrary to local and international laws is prohibited.

The same items covered under a freedom of speech statute are also regulated by Copyright laws and conventions. This means that some works are considered to be owned by one or more people who have the sole right to exploit those works for profit on their own or someone else's behalf. One could take a photograph of a performance at a play, but if the play is considered a Copyright creative work, any commercial use of the photograph without authorization is a violation of the Copyright law.

So while one can take photographs of anyone or anything because they own a camera, it is not always prudent or lawful to do so.

Who invented the Film Projector?

C. (Charles) Francis Jenkins began the creation of a movie projector in 1890. In the summer of 1894 Jenkins visited his boyhood home of Richmond, Indiana to show family, friends and newsmen the "motion picture projecting box" and what it could do. He called it a Phantoscope. The Richmond Telegram reported Jenkins placed a sheet on a wall and projected to the audience, a flickering film he had shot of a vaudeville dancer performing a butterfly dance. This was the earliest documented public showing of a filmed motion picture by way of a projector which used electricity.

A modified Phantoscope was later sold to Thomas Edison whom changed the name to Vitascope and began showing motion pictures in vaudeville theaters in New York City in 1896.

Using film and electricity were instruments of the modern era and ushered in cinema and the motion picture industry. However, the showing of pictures that moved by various means began centuries ago. There are a variety of men and devises from several countries which contributed to the primitive era of motion picture history. Details would be too long to cover here.

What was the relationship that developed between early photography and painting?

The relationship between painting and early photography was complex and soon led to development of a proto-agricultural photography fairly early on after the invention of cameras and photography in the mid-19thy century. Adrien Tournachon's Paris studio photographs of farm animals as much as William Henry Fox Talbot's Pencil of Nature photographs of a haystack and door to a farmhouse in Britain heralded the coming of agricultural photography by two countries.

Many early photographers were also painters and painting suggested artistic conventions of recording and depicting animals, landscapes and farm scenes to photographers - photography became the new pre-eminent mode of the visual agricultural record of agricultural subjects, themes and elements.

How are aqueducts used today?

No, roman aqueducts are not used today we use pipes today instead. Note that one aqueduct in Rome, the Aqua Virgo (now called Acqua Vergine in Italian) is still used to supply the fountains of the city centre, including three famous ones: the Trevi fountain, the Barcaccia (the boat-shaped fountain at the bottom of the Spanish Steps) and the fountain of Quattro Fiumi in Piazza Navona. It is no longer used to supply drinking water for much of the city centre, but this is only due to pollution, not lack of power. It can do this without pumps because of the significant difference in altitude between the Pincian Hill area and the lowland of the city centre. It works beautifully, as shown by the impressive gush of water at the Trevi fountain.

Yes, we use pipes and pumps today in the US and other "modern" countries, but in Latin class (about 28 years ago) we were taught that ancient Roman aqueducts still supplied water to some European communities. Perhaps the EU (European Union) has "improved" this situation since, but the aqueduct required only the immutable force of gravity, as water flows to the lowest point, while our modern system requires electric power to force the water through the pipes. It is a dubious improvement in times of power failure.

Photocopiers replaced several less-versatile machines, including the mimeograph, a nasty monster that used a typed template on a drum. Ink inside the drum flowed out through openings made by the typewriter, and onto paper as the drum rotated over it. Those of us who used them were very happy to see the first photocopiers, believe me.
