The day commemorates photographs, the camera, and their invention. A camera is an irreplaceable tool used to record and replicate memories, events, and people/places. Before the invention of the camera, the only resource to document a vision was a painting. Capturing an image of a person or place in a drawing took time and skill. Very few people can perfectly draw the likeness of someone, let alone capture the essence of an event.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [FONT=verdana][SIZE=3][I][/I][/SIZE][/FONT] [I][FONT=verdana][SIZE=3]The power of a camera provided many with a simple, inexpensive, and fast solution. George Eastman, also known as “The Father of Photography,” brought the camera to the masses. While he did not invent the camera, he did develop many additions improving the use, ease, and production of the camera. His developments made the camera widely available to homes around the world.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [B][FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][SIZE=7]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [URL="https://insidetheloudhouse.com/2022/06/29/syracuse-basketball-nyc-5-star-recruit-vaults-no-1-national-rankings/"]Syracuse Basketball: NYC 5-star recruit vaults to No. 1 in national rankings[/URL] (itlh; Adler)[/B] [I]A Syracuse basketball five-star recruiting target from New York City has moved to the top spot nationally within his class, according to new rankings from one of the primary recruiting services. has updated and expanded its top-125 player ratings for the 2024 class, and [URL='https://rivals./prospect_rankings/rivals150/2024']checking in at No. 1 across the country is five-star guard Ian Jackson[/URL]. The 6-foot-6 Jackson, [URL='https://insidetheloudhouse.com/syracuse-basketball/']offered a scholarship by the Orange coaching staff[/URL] in April, recently was selected to the 2022 USA Basketball U17 national team, which will soon compete at the upcoming FIBA U17 World Cup in Málaga, Spain. [/I] [I] Jackson, who has picked up a few offers from blue-blood programs of late, is a rising junior at Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, N.Y., which is an excellent squad. MaxPreps named him the national sophomore of the year during the 2021-22 campaign, and Jackson has proven electric this spring and early summer on the AAU circuit suiting up for the Bronx, N.Y.-based Wiz Kids in the Adidas league. Syracuse basketball five-star recruit Ian Jackson is an elite talent. In the new national rankings for his cycle, Jackson moved up two spots to claim the No. 1 overall rating. When I penned this column, for some context, Jackson was No. 1 nationally according to the industry-generated On3 Consensus, and he was [URL='https://247sports.com/Player/Ian-Jackson-46111723/']No. 2 overall per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite[/URL]. I know that a lot of my fellow ‘Cuse fans are likely to opine that Syracuse basketball has a tiny chance of ultimately landing Jackson, and they could be right. Then again, in late May, we noted in an article how Jackson had said in several interviews that [URL='https://insidetheloudhouse.com/2022/05/29/syracuse-basketball-heavily-involved-nyc-5-star-nations-no-2-player/']the Orange was among the programs in consistent communication for him[/URL]. Of course, the recruitments of these top-flight prospects will ebb and flow, but I always want to see the ‘Cuse pursue five-stars like Jackson. Besides Syracuse basketball, other early offers that had come in for him included from Kansas, UCLA, Oregon, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Oklahoma State, Connecticut, Nebraska, Kansas State and Bryant. ...
