Don’t let her focus on food-related quizzes fool you, Peg is a pro in many arenas. Even though she spends most of her free time whipping up delicious cookies and concocting new recipes for easy but impressive gluten-free cakes, Peg’s brain holds a vast collection of knowledge about everything from baby animals to what you need to know to graduate from different school grades. While she’s the first to admit everything she reads doesn’t necessarily stick in her head, Peg keeps her mind fresh by reading the Financial Post and Globe and Mail on the regular, and coming up with fantastic ideas for new quizzes. She’s a secret fan of gossip, too, so watch out for her intense celeb topics!
Did you know?
The history of the camera starts long before the existence of photography.
The camera obscura (or pinhole camera) is credited in the 10th century to Arab scholar Ibn Al-Haytham, but there are references to the camera obscura in Chinese texts from 400 BC and Aristotle. This optical device uses light to project an inverted image on a surface. With the invention of lenses in the 17th century, the camera obscura was used to project larger images to help draw and paint.
Magic lanterns came into use around the same time, which projected images onto larger surfaces and became a form of entertainment. In the 1820s, Joseph Niepce captured the first image with a camera obscura, though it took years to create a permanent image. Louis Daguerre improved the process and created the first permanent image in 1839. By 1850, in New York alone there were over 70 daguerreotype studios.
Henry Fox Talbot created further improvements and made it possible to reproduce images, and in 1889, George Eastman created the film, which was flexible and unbreakable. Today, digital cameras are everywhere, and photographs are still a hugely important part of our society.
