I was inspired to do this when I was reading Songbird's blog, Reflectionary, today.
While my parents and I were visiting recently, my father and I were having a discussion about cameras, namely aperture, as this is something we now have in common (he does still photography and I obviously have to work with cameras for school). Somehow we got onto the topic of projectors and he said that there was some sort of little snap of darkness that closes between each frame, making the film seamless, like a shutter. I argued that that only happens in the camera, not when the film is being projected.
I was wrong.
There I said it. Daddy Hankiepants was right, and I was wrong.
Ahh, I can actually feel my biceps growing!
