Movie Camera
A man with a plan, builds a canal.
A man with a movie camera, documents
the canal-builder's efforts for all
time, delighting viewers.
"Camera" means "vault" in Latin.
A camera is a tiny vault of darkness
(camera obscura), or else it's a
big eye (magnus oculus).
A lens in front focuses light rays
on a photosensitive plane in back.
The photosensitive layer is either removed
for development, or else it transmits image
signals, to be recorded or processed.
A "Movie Camera" records a series of still
pictures for sequential review. Because of
a flaw in human vision, these still pictures
are perceived as a single moving image.
