To get from step one to step three, I started out with the original photo. Then, using photoshop, I switched the photo from color to black and white. After that, I inverted the image's colors. This basically means that now, instead of the shadowy parts being black and the lighter parts white, the shadowed parts were white and the originally white parts were black. After inverting the image's colors, I put an orange-ish tint of the whole thing. Now instead of black and white, the picture was a wide range of orange shades and white. Once I had completed the digital negative, it was printed out on transparency paper. Then, using the printed, inverted image on the transparency paper and sunlight, I was able to transfer the image onto a sheet of light-sensitive paper. The printed negative was laid on top of the light-sensitive paper so that when the sunlight hit it, it would shine through the previously white but now clear parts of the photograph and be blocked out by the once black but now orange parts of the photograph. Once the paper was exposed to light for long enough, in order to stop the chemical reaction between the paper and sunlight, I put the light-sensitive paper in water. This stopped the paper from further changing color when hit by light. There you have the entire process from step one to step three.
In the 2000's, camera were starting to be built into cell phones. Before this, cameras were hand held, you had to hold a separate piece of machinery in your hand to be able to do the one act of taking a picture. By the 2000's, film was just beginning to be gotten rid of. Just barely though. So as of the 2000's or somewhere around that time, cameras were on cellular devices. That meant they didn't have to use film and also, pixels were being used and display images that were saved on the memory of the phone. This might sound slightly cliche but, this new invention paved the way for cameras installed in phones altogether. The fact that we still use cameras in phones makes this event a really big deal. It's pretty much what started the really nice quality cameras found in the iphone 6 and 7 today. This is a picture of one of the first phone cameras:
