#HappyBirthday to the #June29 #BirthdayCohort (with @ColinJost & #CharlamagneThaGod @CThaGod & ... you?) on #NationalCameraDay @Kenmore_Camera | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'
Today's celebration of the #Camera is explained in a report linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Camera” is built on ancient words that mean "'|Vaulted' Chamber (with an 'Arched Cover')" (Architectural term ... the Photography-sense is 'short for #CameraObscura (Dark Chamber ... as opposed to #CameraLucida "Light Chamber")'). #CameraMan #CameraShy #Cam #Camcorder #Cameral #Unicameral #Bicameral #OffCamera
Astrologically, their sign is Cancer ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Charlamagne tha God, Colin Jost, Gary Busey, Richard Lewis, Slim Pickens, Sharon Lawrence (Sylvia Costas on NYPD Blue), Dr. William James Mayo ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
about them) in the comments, thanks)
