　　It was the first photograph that I had ever seen, and it interested me. I can remember holding it at every angle (角度) in order to catch the flickering light from the oil lamp on the dresser. The man in the photograph was unsmiling, but his eyes were kind. I had never met him, but I felt that I knew him. One evening when I was looking at the photograph, as I always did before I went to sleep. I noticed a shadow across the man's thin face. I moved the photograph so that the shadow lay perfectly around his cheeks. How different he looked!

　　That night I could not sleep, thinking about the letter that I would write. First, I would tell him that I was eleven years old, and that if he had a little girl my age, she could write to me instead of him. I knew that he was a very busy man. Then I would explain to him my real purpose of the letter. I would tell him how wonderful he looked with the shadow that I had seen across his photograph, and I would most carefully suggest that he grow whiskers (连鬓胡子).

　　Four months later when I met him at the train station near my home in Westfield, New York, he was wearing a full beard. He was so much taller than I had imagined from my tiny photograph.

“Ladies and gentlemen,”he said.“I have no speech to make and no time to make it in. I appear before you so that I may see you and that you may see me.”Then he picked me right up, and kissed me on both cheeks.“Do you think I look better, my little friend?”he asked me.

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business, but he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.

The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things.

Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality.

In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready-made in rolls. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshots”.

Photography also turned into a form of art by the end the 19^th century, some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Please go to that center as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright future on the other side of this  60 .
