Daily Post
Today I had a lot of fun in class. We learned about photography and film. Specifically, we learned about the camera obscura and how it works. I have previously learned about the camera obscura from other classes I have taken but I still love to learn about anything photography. What I didn't know before today was the superstition of salt that originated from the last supper picture. I have studied this painting many times, normally when discussing its linear perspective. However, I never had noticed the 'knife of betrayal' or even the bowl of salt that was knocked over, which started the superstition of bad luck for spilling salt. I have always known of this superstition but it was really cool and interesting to see where it originated from.
