Washington Post : The man who invented the digital camera didn’t really know anything about photography; nor had he ever even mentioned to his wife that he was the inventor. Last week, however, Steve Sasson was one of four people awarded the 2009 National Medal of Technology and Innovation by President Obama—for his invention while working for Kodak in the late 1970s. Monica Hesse of the Washington Post writes an entertaining profile of this quirky, 60-year-old inventor from Upstate New York.
