What exactly is the Aperture for?
The prime function is to control the brightness of the image projected onto the film/sensor by adjusting the size of the hole through which the light passes, but it also affects the sharpness of the image.

How does a camera lens actually work?
It works on the principle that light travels in a straight line; individual rays can be bent by the refractive qualities of the lens to converge at a given point and create a real image of a scene. - Random Camera Factoids Rule!
