Throughout history, new technologies have always sparked apprehension and suspicion. However, arguably none have done so more than the camera, at least from a superstitious perspective. Traditional cultures even believed these modern marvels could steal a piece of your soul. Folklore, perhaps, but could there be something to such a concept?
