Wayne Fromm has been fascinated with photography since he was a kid. He used to develop his own prints and experimented with Polaroids and early video cameras. In 2002, he took his daughter on holiday to Italy. He wanted photos of them together, but if they took photos themselves, they always ended up with a head off-centre. In the end, they'd wait for a passerby who looked savvy enough to use Wayne's digital camera and were able to understand what they wanted without a common language. Then they had to deal with people walking in front of them while the photo was being taken. Wayne just thought: "There has to be an easier way." It took about 100 prototypes to get it right. Every pin, spring, lever, and gear had to be up to the job. He wanted each one to last 20 years and be able to withstand use under the sea or in the heat of the Sahara. b) Read the second part of the text and answer the questions. ot b 1.
