The horse now didn´t see how an equine for mount if not as a new nutritive meat an delicious in protein, doing that the industry of the food grow up every day more.

The sun-past


In the century V our ancestors believed that the sun was the god at the earth, managing this a great impac and a strong belief in front him with tributes great honorings. Doing the sun will be significant for all the humanity.
THE HORSE OF WOOD (past)
Once upon a time a family who had a little girl that love horses, she was wishing for a long time to have a beautiful horse and can ride along the world with it. One day, the family went to a fair and the little girl was so happy watching the clowns, animals, and all the colors that the fair had passing near to the circus, there was an old man who was carving a little horse in a piece of wood, the girl was amazing with the beauty of that horse so she asked to the old man for the horse. The old man watched her and smiled, then he asked her why did she like a horse, so she answered that so many times she had dreamed about a horse and ride through all the mountains and valleys, she loved that animals so when the old man finished to carve the horse, then he gave her that beautiful gift from the fair. The girl felt a great emotion in her heart and cried with that wonderful gift in her hands even if the horse was not real, she had a hope in her mind, that maybe one day she could have a real horse and it could be as beautiful as the one of wood. When the family went back to home, the little girl wasted all her time playing with the horse of wood in the garden, in her room, in the living, every time she was talking to the horse and playing and every night she sleep with that animal in her arms. One night, she had a dream, ina big field and a beautiful mountain, a sunny day of spring she was riding her horse that now it was real riding through all the valleys and going so far as they can the horse now was not in her mind, the horse now was real made of flesh and bones and the girl was so happy about it. The years passed and the girl grown up and became a very beautiful woman and the horse still with her, had become her best friend, the horse knew all her secrets since she decided to get it in that fair when an old man gave that wonderful gift. It was now a strong horse and runs in the derby prix every week the horse was one of the fastest horses in all the rides, and everybody bet for it, because they were convinced of the great talent of that horse that one day was just a dream of a little girl in a fair. Day after day, the girl and the horse shared moments filled with the greatest love of a person and an animal, this loyalty had became a legend around the world and in every corner of the world that tale was told for millions of people, and many times they were in different magazines.



The wooden horse in this
The years passed and the girl that now was a woman had a work and couldn´t share the time enough with her friend the horse, so the animal began to feel sad and alone, days after the horse got sick of an irreversible sadness, as the girl felt so bad too, so the horse died and that was avery woeful notice for all the world who loved that nobel horse.
The horse was buried as an human with all the honors and the sorrow of millions of people around the world, but was not put in a grave, it was embalmed and took to a museum where many people went to visit it.
The owner of the horse, that woman who couldn´t keep the pain to be without her animal, days after died and the doctors said that the cause of her death was the pain and the loneliness even if all her family was compannig her, the only thing she wanteed was her horse.

The Jamaican was surprised when he saw the fat man was pushing the cart and under your car to help push too, the characters I threw the car into an abyss, then the Jamaican Climbed to his car and left.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION


In the picture we see one of the sculptures of Fernando Botero. Located in the Plaza in downtown Medellin. It is one of the imaginary of the city.


Sculpture Room


After Fernando Botero to donate several of his paintings to the Art Museum of Medellin, Francisco Antonio Zea, now the Museum of Antioquia, likewise offered to donate some sculptures. This technique, performed by the artist Antioquia from 1973, allowed the three-dimensional transfer its formal proposal explored in painting and drawing. In this new grant, received in 1984, Botero gave 16 works: Woman reclining man with a cane, Woman with parasol, Head, Seated Woman, Still Life, Adam and Eve, Venus, Column bird, female torso, Vase, Guitar, Bird and Hand.


Behind the work



It is a draft statement, which allows to deepen specific topics, giving priority to artists, periods and themes that can be addressed from works that are part of the Museum's collections.
MEDELLIN

The culture is very present in Medellín.
Sculptures by different authors and countries constantly decorate the city, hence the name "city of the sculptures." It should be noted in this connection that the sculptor Antonio Botero is from the city. The mixed nature of the arts in the numerous parks that dot the area and the cultural events taking place related to music and literature. Another must is a visit to Cerro Nutibara, turned into a nature park and from which enjoys one of the most spectacular views of the city of Medellin. Numerous museums including the Museum of Antioquia, give the possibility to enjoy the arts. Worth a visit are its monuments, among which we highlight their churches and the old railway station in Antioch. A complete and interesting city with many things to discover.

Medellin has the title of second largest city in Colombia after its capital, Bogota, and is considered as the epicenter of commercial, industrial and technological development in the country. Denoted with a leadership in the areas of finance, banking, services, politics, art, culture, communications, fashion and entertainment, achieving a leading role in Latin America and becoming a focal point of development not only on the continent but in the world. It is noteworthy that the first city inColombia with an integrated transport system that runs the city in its metropolitan area.

Early History: Development of chemical photography

The text begins with the history of photography, the first shots that were made to a person, louis daguerre, in late 1838 or early 1839.
after the death of Niepce, Daguerre use your notes, although this did not have a formation, made great contributions as of January 7, 1839 the announcement that he had invented a process called Daguerrotipo
which consisted of a process made from chemicals that did better images.
in this manner gave way to other processes that were key to the history of photography, with enhancements that ushered in modernity.
twentieth-century photography developed rapidly and introduced the first digital photography invented by Russell A. Kirsch, first color image by James Clerk Maxwell
other systems involved was the of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokundin Gorskin.
can be seen, as there are a transformation in the history of technology in the field of photography and characters such as Louis Daguerre, played an important role in the beginnings of photography.

PRECOLOMBINE IMAGES FROM THE MUSEUM OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ANTIOQUIA.



this is a prehispanic piece of a vessel used by the ancient natives of Colombia. the Chibchas were a tribe that lived in the centre and north of the country, but nowadays there are just a few of them.




A shield and a spear were the weapons that used the aborigins of south america to defend of the attacks of other enemies tribes or the Spanish conquerors,other weapons they used were arches and arrows.




The clothes of the Tayrona Tribe, they still have their territory in the mountains of Santa Marta almost all of them clothes are white and using bags made of wool and made by them selves.




This loom is the device were the natives made all of them clothes provided of wool, silk and cotton to make shirts, pants and caps.



This is a picture of the jewerly used by the Chibcha tribe, these jewels are made all of gold because this was a sacred element for the priests of this tribe, and around of this there´s a legend, the legend of “el dorado”, and has been the source of many movies and stories.

Early History: Development of chemical photography

Monochrome process

Nicéphore Niépce's earliest surviving photograph of a scene from nature, circa 1826, "View from the Window at Le Gras," Saint-Loup-de-Varennes (France).
"Boulevard du Temple", taken by Louis Daguerre in late 1838 or early 1839, was the first-ever photograph of a person. It is an image of a busy street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the city traffic was moving too much to appear. The exception is a man in the bottom left corner, who stood still getting his boots polished long enough to show up in the picture.
Robert Cornelius, self-portrait, Oct. or Nov. 1839, approximate quarter plate daguerreotype. The back reads, "The first light picture ever taken." This self-portrait is the first photographic portrait image of a human ever produced.

The first permanent photograph (later accidentally destroyed) was an image produced in 1826 [5] by the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. His photographs were produced on a polished pewter plate covered with a petroleum derivative called bitumen of Judea. Bitumen hardens with exposure to light. The unhardened material may then be washed away and the metal plate polished, rendering a negative image which then may be coated with ink and impressed upon paper, producing a print. Niépce then began experimenting with silver compounds based on a Johann Heinrich Schultz discovery in 1724 that a silver and chalk mixture darkens when exposed to light.

In partnership, Niépce (in Chalon-sur-Saône) and Louis Daguerre (in Paris) refined the existing silver process.[6] In 1833 Niépce died of a stroke, leaving his notes to Daguerre. While he had no scientific background, Daguerre made two pivotal contributions to the process. He discovered that exposing the silver first to iodine vapour before exposure to light, and then to mercury fumes after the photograph was taken, could form a latent image. Bathing the plate in a salt bath then fixes the image. On January 7, 1839 Daguerre announced that he had invented a process using silver on a copper plate called the daguerreotype.[7] The French government bought the patent and immediately made it public domain.

In 1832, French-Brazilian painter and inventor Hercules Florence had already created a very similar process, naming it Photographie.

After reading about Daguerre's invention, Fox Talbot worked on perfecting his own process; in 1839 he acquired a key improvement, an effective fixer, from John Herschel, the astronomer, who had previously showed that hyposulfite of soda (also known as hypo, or now sodium thiosulfate) would dissolve silver salts. Later that year, Herschel made the first glass negative.

By 1840, Talbot had invented the calotype process. He coated paper sheets with silver chloride to create an intermediate negative image. Unlike a daguerreotype, a calotype negative could be used to reproduce positive prints, like most chemical films do today. Talbot patented[8] this process, which greatly limited its adoption. He spent the rest of his life in lawsuits defending the patent until he gave up on photography. Later George Eastman refined Talbot's process, which is the basic technology used by chemical film cameras today. Hippolyte Bayard had also developed a method of photography but delayed announcing it, and so was not recognized as its inventor.

In 1839, John Herschel made the first glass negative, but his process was difficult to reproduce. Slovene Janez Puhar invented a process for making photographs on glass in 1841; it was recognized on June 17, 1852 in Paris by the Académie Nationale Agricole, Manufacturière et Commerciale.[9] In 1847, Niépce St. Victor published his invention of a process for making glass plates with an albumen emulsion; the Langenheim brothers of Philadelphia and John Whipple of Boston also invented workable negative-on-glass processes in the mid 1840s.[10]

In 1851 Frederick Scott Archer invented the collodion process.[citation needed] Photographer and children's author Lewis Carroll used this process.[citation needed]
Roger Fenton's assistant seated on Fenton's photographic van, Crimea, 1855.

Herbert Bowyer Berkeley experimented with his own version of collodian emulsions after Samman introduced the idea of adding dithionite to the pyrogallol developer.[citation needed] Berkeley discovered that with his own addition of sulfite, to absorb the sulfur dioxide given off by the chemical dithionite in the developer, that dithionite was not required in the developing process. In 1881 he published his discovery. Berkeley's formula contained pyrogallol, sulfite and citric acid. Ammonia was added just before use to make the formula alkaline. The new formula was sold by the Platinotype Company in London as Sulpho-Pyrogallol Developer.[11]

Nineteenth-century experimentation with photographic processes frequently became proprietary. The German-born, New Orleans photographer Theodore Lilienthal successfully sought legal redress in an 1881 infringement case involving his "Lambert Process" in the Eastern District of Louisiana.

The daguerreotype proved popular in responding to the demand for portraiture emerging from the middle classes during the Industrial Revolution.[citation needed] This demand, that could not be met in volume and in cost by oil painting, added to the push for the development of photography.

In 1847, Count Sergei Lvovich Levitsky designed a bellows camera which significantly improved the process of focusing. This adaptation influenced the design of cameras for decades and is still found in use today in some professional cameras.[citation needed] While in Paris, Levitsky would become the first to introduce interchangeable decorative backgrounds in his photos, as well as the retouching of negatives to reduce or eliminate technical deficiencies.[citation needed] Levitsky was also the first photographer to portray a photo of a person in different poses and even in different clothes (for example, the subject plays the piano and listens to himself).[citation needed] Roger Fenton and Philip Henry Delamotte helped popularize the new way of recording events, the first by his Crimean war pictures, the second by his record of the disassembly and reconstruction of The Crystal Palace in London.

By 1849, images captured by Levitsky on a mission to the Caucasus, were exhibited by the famous Parisian optician Chevalier at the Paris Exposition of the Second Republic as an advertisement of their lenses. These photos would receive the Exposition's gold medal; the first time a prize of its kind had ever been awarded to a photograph.[citation needed]

That same year in 1849 in his St. Petersburg, Russia studio Levitsky would first propose the idea to artificially light subjects in a studio setting using electric lighting along with daylight. He would say of its use, "as far as I know this application of electric light has never been tried; it is something new, which will be accepted by photographers because of its simplicity and practicality".

In 1851, at an exhibition in Paris, Levitsky would win the first ever gold medal awarded for a portrait photograph.

In America, by 1851 a broadside by daguerreotypist Augustus Washington were advertising prices ranging from 50 cents to $10.[12] However, daguerreotypes were fragile and difficult to copy. Photographers encouraged chemists to refine the process of making many copies cheaply, which eventually led them back to Talbot's process.

Ultimately, the modern photographic process came about from a series of refinements and improvements in the first 20 years. In 1884 George Eastman, of Rochester, New York, developed dry gel on paper, or film, to replace the photographic plate so that a photographer no longer needed to carry boxes of plates and toxic chemicals around. In July 1888 Eastman's Kodak camera went on the market with the slogan "You press the button, we do the rest". Now anyone could take a photograph and leave the complex parts of the process to others, and photography became available for the mass-market in 1901 with the introduction of the Kodak Brownie.

In the twentieth century, photography developed rapidly as a commercial service. End-user supplies of photographic equipment accounted for only about 20 percent of industry revenue. For the modern enthusiast photographer processing black and white film, little has changed since the introduction of the 35mm film Leica camera in 1925.[citation needed]

The first digitally scanned photograph was produced in 1957. The digital scanning process was invented by Russell A. Kirsch, a computer pioneer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He developed the system capable of feeding a camera's images into a computer. His first fed image was that of his son, Walden Kirsch. The photo was set at 176x176 pixels. [13]
[edit] Color process
First color image, photograph by James Clerk Maxwell, 1861.

Although color photography was explored throughout the 19th century, initial experiments in color resulted in projected temporary images, rather than permanent color images. Moreover until the 1870s the emulsions available were not sensitive to red or green light.

The first color photo, an additive projected image of a tartan ribbon, was taken in 1861 by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell.[14] Several patentable methods for producing images (by either additive or subtractive methods, see below) were devised from 1862 on by two French inventors (working independently), Louis Ducos du Hauron and Charles Cros.[15] Practical methods to sensitize silver halide film to green and then orange light were discovered in 1873 and 1884 by Hermann W. Vogel, but full sensitivity to red light was not achieved until the early years of the 20th century.

The first fully practical color plate, Autochrome, did not reach the market until 1907. It was based on a screen-plate method, the screen (of filters) being made using dyed dots of potato starch. The screen lets filtered red, green or blue light through each grain to a photographic emulsion in contact with it. The plate is then developed to a negative, and reversed to a positive, which when viewed through the screen restores colors approximating the original.

Other systems of color photography included that used by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, which involved three separate monochrome exposures ('separation negatives') of a still scene through red, green, and blue filters. These required a special machine to display, but the results are impressive even by modern standards. His collection of glass plates was purchased from his heirs by the Library of Congress in 1948, and is now available in digital images.
[edit] Development of digital photography
Main article: Digital photography
A Canon PowerShot A95

The charge-coupled device (CCD) was invented in 1969 by Willard Boyle and George E. Smith at AT&T Bell Labs. The lab was working on the Picturephone and on the development of semiconductor bubble memory. Merging these two initiatives, Boyle and Smith conceived of the design of what they termed 'Charge "Bubble" Devices'. The essence of the design was the ability to transfer charge along the surface of a semiconductor.

* 1973 - Fairchild Semiconductor releases the first large image forming CCD chip; 100 rows and 100 columns[citation needed].
* 1975 - Bryce Bayer of Kodak develops the Bayer filter mosaic pattern for CCD color image sensors
* 1986 - Kodak scientists develop the world's first megapixel sensor.
