Rosamond Purcell is a photographer whose pictures can be seen in the exhibition, Very Like a Whale. In order to take the pictures, she used glass bottles like the ones you see on the right side of your screen. The bottles are shiny, like a mirror, and created interesting reflections.

Did you know?
George Eastman invented rolled film in 1885. This invention made cameras easier to use, and millions of people bought his Kodak cameras. Before Eastman's invention, photographs were taken on thin sheets of metal called plates. Today, most photographs are taken with digital cameras that do not use film.
