Jerry Uelsmann (1934-) is an educator, photographer and master printer. 

From 1953-1957 he studied photography with Ralph Hattersley and the immensely influential and spiritual Minor White who founded Aperture. He moved on to study with Henry Holmes Smith at Indiana University Graduate School, Bloomington (1958-1960) and was influenced by the abstraction present in the works of both Minor White and Henry Holmes Smith. He took at teaching role at University of Florida in Gainsville and continued with his own photography which was maturing into a Surrealistic style that required masterful printing from multiple negatives. The images of floating rocks, and trees and houses growing out of tree roots with titles like “Flamingos Visit Yosemite” question reality and have a visionary quality that makes them iconic.

He was co-founder of The Friends of Photography (1962)  and received a Guggenheim Fellowship (1967) and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (1972) and a founding member of The Society for Photographic Education (SPE). He is married to the artist Maggie Taylor.

Ansel Adams  (1902–1984)

Ansel Adams’ first ambition was to become a concert pianist, and many urged him not to give it up for photography. But he was also an ardent conservationist who fell in love with nature, particularly the Yosemite Sierra, and he ultimately became famous for his signature black-and-white Western landscapes, photographing at different times and seasons to show nature’s changing patterns. In fact, he won three Guggenheim grants to photograph national parks. A believer in “straight photography,” he founded the anti-pictorialist Group f/64 with Edward Weston in 1932. Adams also developed the Zone System, an exposure technique for black-and-white photography that allows photographers to control the tonal range in a negative, giving them more control over finished photographs. While Adams is known for his landscapes, he also did commercial portraits and documentary work.

An influential American photographer known for his interpretive eye and superbly printed photographs, Edward Weston’s initial style was soft-focused and pictorialist. However, after joining the London Salon in 1917—and meeting Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand a few years later—he began shooting his subjects in sharp focus and emphasizing more abstract forms. After a stint in Mexico City, he moved to California and began the work for which he would become renowned—landscapes, nudes, and exquisite still lifes of objects such as shells and vegetables. (He eventually burned most of his early negatives, wanting to be remembered for his later work.) Along with Ansel Adams, Weston helped form the famous Group f/64 in 1932, and was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship.

In later works, she took on other culturally prevalent images of women, including those in pornographic and fashion magazines, adding disturbing elements such as scars and bodily fluids to suggest the rejection of culturally imposed standards of femininity. Sherman, one of the most successful artists of the late 20th century, has influenced numerous young photographers.

Eugène Atget made documentary photographs of sights and people in Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries using a simple 18-by-24-centimeter view camera and no exposure meter. While his methods were simple and rarely varied, several of his contemporaries—including Man Ray, André Breton, and others—were impressed with the hidden world he was able to reveal in his photos, many of which he shot in the early mornings when the streets were empty. Following his death, his remaining prints and negatives were rescued by his friend and fellow photographer Berenice Abbott, who kept his reputation alive, especially in the United States. While Abbott sold her collection to The Museum of Modern Art, most of Atget’s 8,000 negatives—which were bought during his lifetime—remain in France, many in Paris museums and libraries.

Edward Weston (1886-1958)

An influential American photographer known for his interpretive eye and  superbly printed photographs, Edward Weston's initial style was soft-focused and pictorialist. However, after joining the London Salon in 1917-and meeting Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand a few years later-he began shooting his subjects in sharp focus and emphasizing more abstract forms. After a stint in Mexico City, he moved to California and began the work for which he would become renowned-landscapes, nudes, and exquisite still lifes of objects such as shells and vegetables. (He eventually burned most of his early negatives, wanting to be remembered for his later work.) Along with Ansel Adams, Weston helped form the famous Group f/64 in 1932, and was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Grant Wood (1891-1942) was an American painter, print maker and exponent of Regionalism.

He studied at the Minneapolis School of Design and Handicraft (1910-1911) and for short periods at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, and the Art Institute of Chicago. In the 1920s he traveled to Europe periodically and in 1923 he enrolled at the Académie Julian in Paris. In 1934 he joined the staff of the University of Iowa.

With his strong ties to the rural American physical and social landscape he wore overalls as a statement about his earthy Midwest roots but the truth is more complex than this given his exposure to European art during his travels. His subjects combined the rustic elements of pitchforks, overalls or an apron trimmed with rick-rack but stylistically the hard edges were influenced by Renaissance painting. In 1930 his work “American Gothic” with country folk steadfast in front of a Carpenter Gothic architectural style house and on first viewing shows grim-faced Iowans. Although much parodied the painting is one of the most famous of American art.', 305 : '

Carleton E. Watkins (1829-1916)

Drawn to the West by the Gold Rush, Carleton E. Watkins took striking, detailed photographs of the remote Yosemite Valley-among the best landscape photos of the 19th century-hauling his giant custom-made camera, tripods and heavy glass-plate negatives on horseback to do so. His award-winning images ultimately inspired creation of the Yosemite Bill in 1864, which safeguarded the valley and the nearby redwoods from exploitation, preserving them for generations to come. Watkins also photographed widely in San Francisco and along the Pacific Coast. Sadly, the 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco destroyed Watkins' studio and his negatives, which Stanford University was about to archive.

Edward Steichen (1879-1973)

One of the most important artistic figures of his time, Edward Steichen was originally a painter who burst onto the international photography scene by creating romantic pictorialist images. His pioneering work-which involved manipulating images and working creatively with filters-helped establish photography as a fine art. After Alfred Stieglitz bought some of his prints, the two became friends and Stieglitz promoted Steichen's work in his publication Camera Work. Steichen joined the advertising industry in 1923. He was instrumental in boosting the number of advertisements that used photography from 15 percent to 80 percent in just a decade. In 1947, Steichen became the director of photography for The Museum of Modern Art, where he organized The Family of Man in 1955, an exhibition of 503 photos that examined the universal themes of life, love, children, and death in 68 countries.

He lived behind a police station and often made it to the crime scene before the police arrived. (Observers credited him with having a sixth sense, like a Ouija board, earning him his nickname.) He eventually began photographing movie stars, including Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, and Gregory Peck, often using kaleidoscopic lenses and mirrors to manipulate the images.

Eugène Atget (1898-1991)

Eugène Atget made documentary photographs of sights and people in Paris in the late 19th and early 20th centuries using a simple 18-by-24-centimeter view camera and no exposure meter. While his methods were simple and rarely varied, several of his contemporaries-including Man Ray, André Breton, and others-were impressed with the hidden world he was able to reveal in his photos, many of which he shot in the early mornings when the streets were empty. Following his death, his remaining prints and negatives were rescued by his friend and fellow photographer Berenice Abbott, who kept his reputation alive, especially in the United States. While Abbott sold her collection to The Museum of Modern Art, most of Atget's 8,000 negatives-which were bought during his lifetime-remain in France, many in Paris museums and libraries.

But feeling hemmed in by his editors' directives-and inspired by Walker Evans' book American Photographs-Winogrand eventually began to take a more artistic approach to his work, developing a style often characterized by grainy textures, tilted frames, and complex interactions between the subjects in his photos. Winogrand's work earned legitimacy thanks to noted curator John Szarkowski, who gave him exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art. Today, his work can be found in many notable collections. A prolific photographer, Winogrand left more than 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film at the time of his death.

In addition to her signature nudes, most photographed in San Francisco, she was also known for her intriguing, often geometric still lifes. Bernhard published two portfolios, The Gift of the Commonplace, which she considers to include some of her finest work, and The Eternal Body. An eloquent speaker on the art of photography, Bernhard was known as a well-respected teacher who influenced many photographers’ careers.

One of the greatest photographers of his time, Henri Cartier-Bresson was among the first photographers to use the new (at the time), smaller, 35mm camera, whose speed and mobility he loved. The father of modern photojournalism, he was known for recognizing "the decisive moment" to shoot. He took many iconic photos, and his candid "street photography" style influenced scores of photographers who followed. Cartier-Bresson's career took him across the United States and Europe, as well as to China, India, and Russia. Several volumes of his photographs have been published, and in 1960, a 400-print exhibition of his work toured the United States. He was one of the founders of Magnum, the prestigious picture agency in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. The Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson-which the photographer created with his wife, Martine Franck, and their daughter to preserve and share his legacy-was the first of its kind in France.

In 1933, he bought a Rolleiflex camera and moved to San Francisco, where he focused his artistic eye on American pop culture, reporting back to magazines in Germany. He eventually started the photography department at San Francisco State University and became a vibrant link between European modernism in the early 20th century and the burgeoning artistic culture in the San Francisco Bay Area in the last half of the century. His influence is seen today in the works of many contemporary photographers.

Ansel Adams (1902-1984)

Ansel Adams' first ambition was to become a concert pianist, and many urged him not to give it up for photography. But he was an ardent conservationist who fell in love with nature, particularly the Yosemite Sierra, and he ultimately became famous for his signature black-and-white Western landscapes, photographed in different seasons to show nature's changing patterns. He won three Guggenheim grants to photograph national parks.

A believer in "straight photography," he founded the antipictorialist Group f/64 with Edward Weston in 1932. Adams also developed the Zone System, an exposure technique for black-and-white photography that allows photographers to control the tonal range in a negative, giving them more control over finished photographs. Though known for his landscapes, he also did commercial portraits and documentary work.

Goldin's grunge style strongly influenced fashion photography, but was criticized by some for popularizing "heroin chic" in the 1990s.

The field has acted like the proverbial herd of cats. Everyone's been going in their own direction and doing things according to organic practices based on habit and tradition. And I think that it would mark a moment of maturity of the field to begin talking about these things. The danger is you have to give up a habit. The advantage is that you hear how other people do it and maybe they're doing it in a way that's better, and makes more sense for you"

An American photographer who captured the zeitgeist of an era with his 1960s street photographs, Garry Winogrand began his career working for Collier's, Sports Illustrated, and other magazines. But feeling hemmed in by his editors' directives-and inspired by Walker Evans' book American Photographs-Winogrand eventually began to take a more artistic approach to his work, developing a style often characterized by grainy textures, tilted frames, and complex interactions between the subjects in his photos. Winogrand's work earned legitimacy thanks to noted curator John Szarkowski, who gave him exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art. Today, his work can be found in many notable collections. A prolific photographer, Winogrand left more than 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film at the time of his death.

An influential American photographer known for his interpretive eye and  superbly printed photographs, Edward Weston's initial style was soft-focused and pictorialist. However, after joining the London Salon in 1917-and meeting Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand a few years later-he began shooting his subjects in sharp focus and emphasizing more abstract forms. After a stint in Mexico City, he moved to California and began the work for which he would become renowned - landscapes, nudes, and exquisite still lifes of objects such as shells and vegetables. (He eventually burned most of his early negatives, wanting to be remembered for his later work.) Along with Ansel Adams, Weston helped form the famous Group f/64 in 1932, and was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Pop Art and Its Affinities
July 29, 2006 - September 30, 2007

Highlighting works from the 1960s and early 1970s, this installation captures a pivotal moment in the history of American art. Works by Pop artists, including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg, are featured, as well as pieces by their predecessors, whose work resonates with Pop Art, such as Robert Rauschenberg.

Pop Art and Its Affinities also features paintings by Op Artists such as Edna Andrade, Richard Anuszkiewicz, and Josef Albers, who were among the first artists to base their work entirely upon optical impressions examined in the science of perceptual psychology, such as the after-image and chromatic vibration.

Darren Almond (1971- )

Darren Almond was the youngest artist to exhibit at the infamous Sensation show at The Saatchi Gallery in 1997, an event that established the term "YBAs" (Young British Artists) into art historical canon. Almond, however, has since distinguished himself from the garish shock tactics of his contemporaries by turning to calm sculpture, films, and photographs that reorder traditional notions of place and time. Almond's work draws an acknowledgement of larger unknowns, touching upon ideas of mysticism, hermeticism, and subjective cultural experiences of place. Almond is a Lancastrian, occasionally referencing his family, their emotional position, and personal appreciations of life. He has had solo exhibitions at Tate Britain, Kunsthalle Zurich in Switzerland, and The Renaissance Society in Chicago.

Lutz Bacher (1943- )

A Berkeley-based artist, Lutz Bacher has consistently challenged mainstream notions of gender, sexuality, violence, and power. While predominantly a video artist, he has successfully used multimedia, incorporating found objects, televised court footage, cropped celebrity TV stock, and other debris of modern culture. Bacher's manipulation of image and identity has drawn comparisons with Cindy Sherman, and his audio-visual juxtapositions are on occasion as piercing as Barbara Kruger's slogans. Bacher has exhibited internationally, with shows at the Whitney Biennial, White Columns in New York, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zurich.

Édouard Baldus (1813-1889)

Originally a painter, French photographer Édouard Baldus took up photography in 1848 and never looked back. He was a member of Société Héliographique and worked for Mission Héliographique, for which he created clear, vivid images of aging French architectural monuments using special waxed paper negatives that he had patented. That work eventually garnered him government support for a new project, Les Villes de France photographiées, a series of architectural images taken in Paris and the provinces. Baldus also documented the Louvre's reconstruction in the 1850s, producing 2,000 negatives. In July 1861, the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (PLM) Railroad commissioned Baldus to produce an album of photographs of the rail constructions. In 1994, The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted a traveling exhibit on Baldus titled The Photographs of Édouard Baldus: Landscapes and Monuments.

Edgar Degas (1834-1917)

A French artist who had a well-rounded career that included drawing, sculpture, and printmaking, Edgar Degas is best known for his painting. He is considered one of the founders of Impressionism (although he objected to the name), a style that features prominent brush strokes and muted details. While he painted some landscapes, he was much more interested in portraits and portrayed human gestures, poses, and facial expressions in a way that might cause the viewer to wonder about the subjects. Although he painted different types of people-milliners, opera performers, laundresses-he became famous for his many images of ballet dancers practicing backstage.

Omer Fast (1972- )

An American-Israeli who plays with the cinematic medium, Omer Fast uses subject matter that ranges from reconfigurations of Hollywood icons and accepted film formula, to political and personal "refractions" of visual and oral history, to testimony and memory. Fast toys with the documentary genre-surely an abomination-but his playfulness is consistent, referencing mass distributed films and audiences' passive absorption into cinematic content. Simultaneously a devoted practitioner and an uber-critic of the moving image, he has gained appreciation across the Western world. His work has been exhibited at George Eastman House, Rochester; Cornerhouse, Manchester; Copenhagen Center for Contemporary Art; Kunstmuseum, Basel; and the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh.

While many of his contemporaries settled into a particular genre, Fenton's work ran the gamut-from portraiture to documentary sequences, from architectural studies to complex still lifes. He was commercially successful and many of his photographs are now iconic, such as his haunting Crimean War photo Valley of the Shadow of Death.

New-York based conceptual installation artist David Hammons' career has been a slow meander that willfully avoids the illuminati of the art world. Influenced by Dada, he repeatedly blurs the distinction between art and life. He values a walk more than a three-month exhibition, explaining, "Doing things in the street is more powerful than art, I think. Like Malcolm X said, '[Art] is like novocaine. It used to wake you up, but now it puts you to sleep.'" His staunchly evasive approach has ultimately established his notoriety. Hammons has exhibited at The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia; Galerie Hauser & Wirth, Zurich; Ace Gallery, New York; White Cube, London; Gallery Shimada, Yamaguchi, Japan; and the Museo Reina Maria Sofia, Madrid.

In accepting, he became curator and founder of the museum's Prints Department and ultimately built the collection from its humble beginnings into one of the most impressive print holdings of any museum in the country. His Notes on Prints, published in 1930, became a respected guide for the modern study of prints. In 1932, he hired Hyatt Mayor-who was unknown at the time-to be his assistant curator and gently shaped him. Ivins eventually worked his way up the ranks to become director of the museum.

In 1974, she began to form a vast photographic collection, which later became the basis of the photographic collection at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, a renowned international museum and research center that Lambert founded in 1979. Comprising[KO1] over 50,000 images and spanning the entire history of photography, it is one of the most outstanding photographic collections in the world. Subsequently, Lambert established a field of discourse that considered the relationships between photography and architecture, landscape and image, the city and its representation. As Director of the CCA, Lambert pioneered groundbreaking exhibitions beginning with Photography and Architecture: 1839-1939 in 1982.

Hyatt Mayor (1901-1980)

Hyatt Mayor was the art curator of prints at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1946 until 1966, succeeding William Ivins and building on Ivins' important acquisitions of the first half of the century. Museum staff characterized Mayor's tenure as one of "filling in the valleys between Ivins' mountain-top masterworks." Mayor purchased less sought-after pieces from respected print collections of artists whose later reputations would validate his critical judgment. He broadened the collection to include all aspects of printing including wine labels, a fine collection of cigarette cards, and advertising print. Despite his footing in the art historical tradition, Mayor conceived of prints, ironically for a museum curator, as popular forms of communication. Prints and People: A Social History of Printed Pictures (1952) positioned graphics within the context of social communication. Mayor studied at Princeton Christ Church College, Oxford University (as a Rhodes Scholar) and the American School of Classical Studies. He taught art history at Vassar College and theatre at the School of the American Laboratory Theatre, both in New York, and contributed to the literary magazine Hound and Horn.

He did much of his work at night and used an open flash, sometimes inadvertently setting fire to the places he was photographing. His images of the squalor of New York's Lower East Side were published in How the Other Half Lives in 1890, which helped push through legislation that eventually improved the conditions he had so eloquently captured on film.

An investment businessman at Goldman Sachs (where his father was a partner), Paul Sachs was persuaded in 1914 to leave the profession to become assistant curator to Edward Forbes, his old Harvard classmate and the new director of the Fogg Art Museum. Together, Forbes and Sachs formed a team of fundraising, teaching, and museum development staff that set the standard for academic museum direction. In 1922, Sachs created the celebrated course in curatorship for Harvard graduate students, Museum Work and Museum Problems, and developed a program of museum education, developing what he termed the "connoisseur-scholar." One aspect included what was commonly called "the Print Course," a seminar-style analysis of prints and drawings drawn largely from Sachs' personal collection. Harvard awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1942. In 1945, Sachs and Forbes (the "mendicant Siamese twins") retired from the museum.

His sharply-focused urban and industrial photographs feature hard, flat, almost abstract forms and are devoid of any sign of life or motion. He coined the term "Precisionism" to describe his style, which influenced many photographers to follow. In 1920, he and fellow photographer Paul Strand made a short experimental film called Manhattan, which became one of the first American art films.

Benjamin Brecknell Turner was a pioneer in photography using Talbot's calotype process starting in 1849. He is best known for his photographs of the English countryside. Beginning in 1852 he used the paper negative in combination with albumen positives on a large scale and used classical compositions to examine building types and rustic life. In 1854, he photographed the transfer of the Crystal Palace from central London to Sydenham Hill-important because of its subject matter and technical ambition. His work was shown at the Society of Arts and at the International Exhibition, both in London. He was a founding member of the London Photographic Society in 1854 and was also honorary secretary of the Photographic Exchange club.

Colonel Alfred Capel-Cure

Colonel Alfred Capel-Cure, who flourished in the late 19th century, was most known for his photographs of medieval castles, monasteries, and churches that had been abandoned and were falling into ruin. Many of his photographs are of buildings that he owned or buildings that an educated man of romantic tastes would have sought out on his travels. Capel-Cure was one of many gentleman-amateurs who photographed Tintern Abbey, for example. Other subjects include informal portraits and romantic genre subjects.

Many of his photographs are of buildings that he owned or buildings that an educated man of romantic tastes would have sought out on his travels. Capel-Cure was one of many gentleman-amateurs who photographed Tintern Abbey, for example. Other subjects include informal portraits and romantic genre subjects.

In detail, tonal range, and translation of color into black and white, Capel-Cure's work is greatly inferior to comparable pictures produced by modern processes, but it is precisely their sepia tones, soft outlines, and romantic mood that define them as pioneering and historically critical. Most of Capel-Cure's pictures were made by the calotype process, a process using paper negatives, which was already technically obsolete when he began using it in 1852.

calotype

This early photographic process, which used paper coated with silver iodide, was discovered by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1840 by accident, but it revolutionized photography. Because the highly-sensitive paper allowed for dramatically reduced exposure times, living subjects could now be photographed. And because it was a negative-positive process, many copies of an image could be made. The calotype-also called the Talbotype-initially produced low-quality images and was used mostly by amateurs. Eventually, however, the process was improved and gained wider popularity.

gentleman-amateur

The term "gentleman-amateur" refers to a Victorian era, upper-class male academically invested (and in some cases defining) emergent niches of science. Gentleman-amateur interests varied and included astronomy, chemistry, optics, and photography. By virtue of educational and social privilege, the gentleman-amateur of the 19th century was equipped to carry forth experiments in his chosen field and thus credited with many early discoveries. The gentlemen-amateur is associated with a pioneering spirit later ceded to larger institutions and academies, and is now a figure of nostalgia.

Photo-Secession

This photographer's movement formed in 1902 with the intent of forcing the art world to recognize photography "as a distinctive medium of individual expression." Alfred Stieglitz led the group which also included Edward Steichen, Gertrude Kasebier, Clarence White, and Alvin Langdon Coburn. Photo-Secession held its own exhibitions and published Camera Work, a meticulous and quality journal. The Photo-Secessionists used the pictorial style, arguing that art photography needed to emulate the painting and etching of the time. Photo-Secessionists valued purity and objectivity, practicing straight photography. Images were black and white or sepia-toned, and were not manipulated in the darkroom, aside from cropping.

But he was an ardent conservationist who fell in love with nature, particularly the Yosemite Sierra, and he ultimately became famous for his signature black-and-white Western landscapes, photographed in different seasons to show nature's changing patterns. He won three Guggenheim grants to photograph national parks. A believer in "straight photography," he founded the antipictorialist Group f/64 with Edward Weston in 1932. Adams also developed the Zone System, an exposure technique for black-and-white photography that allows photographers to control the tonal range in a negative, giving them more control over finished photographs. Though known for his landscapes, he also did commercial portraits and documentary work.

An investment businessman at Goldman Sachs (where his father was a partner), Paul Sachs was persuaded in 1914 to leave the profession to become assistant curator to Edward Forbes, his old Harvard classmate and the new director of the Fogg Art Museum. Together, Forbes and Sachs formed a team of fundraising, teaching and museum development staff that set the standard for academic museum direction. In 1922, Sachs created the celebrated course in curatorship for Harvard graduate students, “Museum Work and Museum Problems”, and developed a program of museum education, developing what he termed the "connoisseur-scholar." One aspect included what was commonly called "The Print Course," a seminar-style analysis of prints and drawings drawn largely from Sachs' personal collection. Harvard awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1942. In 1945, Sachs and Forbes (the "mendicant Siamese twins") retired from the museum.', 460 : '

Robert Capa (1913-1954)

War photographer and Magnum founding member. Born Andrei Friedmann in Budapest. From 1931, he worked as a darkroom apprentice in Berlin and took photographs on the side. When the Nazis rose to power, Friedmann relocated to Paris. He struggled as a freelance journalist, so set up an association, selling the photographs of a fictitious American photographer named “Robert Capa”. Friedmann quickly became his pseudonym Capa gaining fame virtually overnight for his remarkable picture Death of a Loyalist Soldier. He covered the Spanish war until its end in early 1939. During WWII he worked for Colliers and Life. In 1942 he was assigned to North Africa; and in 1943 to Sicily. On June 6th 1944, Capa was part of the D-Day landings on Omaha Beach.

In 1947, Capa with Henri Cartier-Bresson, David "Chim" Seymour, George Rodger and Bill Vandivert established Magnum Photos. Capa became an international businessman, selling and promoting the work of Magnum photographers. The Magnum group did a series on international family life called People Are People the World Over," a photographic forerunner of the "Family of Man." In 1954, Life needed a photographer on the Indochina front. Capa volunteered. On May 25, 1954, he stepped on a land mine. He died clutching his camera. In his memory, The Overseas Press Club established the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award "for superlative photography requiring exceptional courage and enterprise abroad."

Photogravure is a process for reproducing a photograph in large editions. It uses gelatin to transfer the image from a black and white negative to a copper printing plate. The gelatin carries the image because it hardens in proportion to its exposure to light. Areas of the gelatin not exposed stay soft and can be dissolved away in water. What remains is a gelatin version of the image which is then pressed onto a copper plate. The plate is placed in an acid bath. Where the gelatin is thick, the acid eats the metal away slowly, where the gelatin is thin or absent, the acid eats faster. Thus the plate is etched to different depths according to the tones of the original image. When inked for printing, the varying depths hold different amounts of ink. Malcolm Daniel penned this paper about the Early Photogravure in 19th century France.

An email from Jane Fulton Alt - November 4, 2005

 

This email was sent by Jane Fulton Alt after she first arrived in New Orleans to her close friends and family.

 

hi all,

 

So here I am and wondering how and why I got here. went to the lower 9th district in New Orleans..the worst hit by the storm.

 

i felt like i was in a war zone.

 

some of the military here said it felt and looked just like what they experienced in iraq only worse because there is no way these residents could ever return... how to get your mind around it all. words fail me... it is grey, desolate, strange, with refrigerators sitting on the roof tops, houses that have turned on their sides, migrated across streets, cars trapped under homes..... There is a street intersection called Flood and Law.

 

I went on 4 bus rides through the devastation yesterday. The first was with the relief team I am on...they took us to the actual spot where the levee broke...for 3 whole blocks next to the levee nothing but an expanse of grey nothingness...

 

The ground all over the area is grey, cracked, dry, mud...nothing is living with the exception of an occasional cat, dog or rooster. The rescue teams that are still going in are leaving big trays of dog and cat food for the remaining pets. There are still using the "cadaver canines" in their searches.

 

i felt sick to my stomach after the first viewing. As the day progressed, I went on 3 other trips with the former residents on a "look and leave" program. They return to a site (with porta potties, no tents o electricity). There is a red cross, salvation army, sisters of mercy mobile medical clinic and national guard presence. There are folding tables where the residents can sign in to go on a bus. Several relief workers go on the bus to "be there" for the residents. People traveled as far as Indiana to see their homes. For many, they have one day here as they have no place to spend the night in New Orleans...except in their cars. So this is their first viewing. It was like attending a funeral. This community was very tight with many families having lived there for 5 generations. I would hear about Aunt Bessie’s house, grandmas house, that was were my aunt lived, our church, the laundromat....where is the house that used to be here...many homes were lifted and moved whole blocks away before put to their final resting place. As the structures have dried out, they have become unstable with many collapsing from day to day. One woman I was sitting next to kept repeating how she thought she was in a nightmare and hoped she would wake up. She started singing to herself...the probable beginnings of many new spiritual/gospel songs to come. On seeing her family home she said "look how tall she is standing." The bus drivers try to accommodate each resident but there are some streets that are blocked with debris and displaced homes. There is a lot of confusion. The drivers want each resident to be able to see and photograph their homes but the police often trail the bus to be sure they stay on route (although yesterday was an exception because the police were too busy with Prince Charles's visit to the area). Anyway, because of the physical dangers, the residents are not supposed to get off the bus, much less walk up to their homes...this rule gets bent a lot depending on the driver.

 

By the end of the day, I had a headache. I found out at our team meeting that many of us had one. It is difficult to know if it was from eye strain or the air quality which is terrible. There is a lot of mold in the air which is another reason they want the residents to stay on the buses.

 

I know I am rambling but please bear with me. I feel like I am in the eye of the storm although I know this area is very different than it was 2 months ago. So many stories...from a young man in the national guard who stayed in the Superdome, to the resident across the street who spent 4 nights living in terror as he heard the looters going from home to home with their guns...with no electricity or city noise, one could hear and feel everything acutely....he said he can deal with the disasters of nature but when humankind shows its brutal side it is beyond his scope of understanding.

 

so much for now...it is in the wee hours of the morning and I need to prepare for my second day here.

 

much love,

 

jane

John Baldessari

 

Throughout his prolific career, John Baldessari (born 1931) has approached his art through adamantly non-traditional paths. Since the late 1960s, Baldessari has combined snapshots that he takes himself or images from popular culture to make large-scale works. Through surprising juxtapositions, image manipulation, and the use of directive titles or language in the work of art itself, Baldessari continually questions issues of perception and what may be acceptable as 'art.'

 

Baldessari's work can be broadly defined as belonging to an international "school" of conceptual artists whose works first came to prominence in the 1960s. In conceptual art, the idea that precedes the act of making the object is as important, or more important, than the object itself.  With humor and irony Baldessari conveys his constantly evolving ideas. In the mid-1980s, he blocked the faces with colored circles to make celebrities anonymous, rendering them mere "suits." In his most recent series, he uses fragments of facial close-ups and colors them selectively, reinventing their appearances in each successive piece.

 

His most recent retrospective monograph is John Baldessari: A Different Kind of Order, (Works 1962-1984), 2005 published by the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien.

Carolyn Cole


Working for the Los Angeles Times since 1994, Carolyn Cole's photographs of many of the world's armed conflicts convey harsh realities far removed from the illusions of Hollywood. Cole (born 1961) won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 2004 for her coverage of the siege of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia.


For nearly two decades, Cole has covered war, starvation, and brutality in the Middle East, Haiti, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. Like other conflict photographers, she has repeatedly placed herself in situations of danger to report on issues that she believes must be covered. In 2002 she earned her first nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of a group of Palestinian gunmen who entered the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as they fled Israeli forces, setting off a standoff that lasted for 39 days. Cole joined a group of peace activists who entered the church in solidarity with the Palestinians and filed several stories from inside the conflict.
 


Cole has also been widely recognized for her sensitive portrayals of civilians, especially children caught in the destitution and horror surrounding armed conflicts. Her most recent project focuses on exploited children in various Asian countries.

Greg Gorman


For four decades, Greg Gorman (born 1949) has photographed celebrities in his signature black and white style.  "For me a photograph is most successful when it doesn't answer all the questions, and it leaves something to be desired."  From Bette Davis and Leonardo DiCaprio to David Hockney and Philip Johnson, the exquisite tonal range of Gorman's photographs invite viewers to look closer, to share a moment of intimacy and deeply felt humanity.  


Chance changed the course of Gorman's life.  "I borrowed a friend's camera in 1968 to photograph a rock concert in Kansas City, my hometown.  The next morning I processed the pictures in a friend's darkroom, and when I saw them coming up in the developer, I was hooked."  Gorman photographed the sixties rock movement, before earning a Masters in Cinematography from USC. In the 1970s, he began to photograph the new generation of actors, many of whom went on to become world famous. He further expanded his photographic interests to include music videos, advertising, documentaries, and nudes. 


Gorman's recent monograph, The Odes to Pindar, a limited edition of 11 platinum prints, was published in 2007.

Lauren Greenfield


Widely acclaimed for her intimate studies of youth culture, Lauren Greenfield's photographs probe the darker side of the idealized worlds of stardom and celebrity. Greenfield (born 1966) established the subject matter that has remained her primary focus with her landmark 1997 book, Fast Forward: Growing up in the Shadow of Hollywood, which focuses on young girls and the sub-cultures that spring from the influence of Hollywood and the recording industry. In Girl Culture, published in 2002, she documented girls' obsessions with shopping, parties, cosmetics, hair styles, body image, and rites of passage.

 
Greenfield's work provides an important counterpoint to the celebrity photographs of Douglas Kirkland and Greg Gorman, bursting the illusions that Hollywood is so successful in conveying. In addition to her photographic essays, Greenfield has produced two documentary films, Thin and kids plus money. The latter two projects extend her attention to media's effects on boys and adults as well as girls.

 
Greenfield's most recent monograph, Thin, published in 2006, is an extension of her previous work on the cult of image. She intimately documents patients at an eating disorder clinic, examining the point at which an obsession with body image becomes a pathology of mental illness.

For five decades, Douglas Kirkland (born 1934) has photographed celebrities and fashion. His lifelong love affair with the camera, whether still or motion pictures, has been applauded with the most prestigious awards the industry can bestow, including several for lifetime achievement.  


In a highly competitive field, Kirkland credits his success to his ability to maintain "eye contact" with clients who are very protective of how they are portrayed. "When someone comes in for a portrait session, it takes two. It's not only about me taking the picture." Just before he turned 25, Kirkland joined the staff of Look magazine. Less than three years later he found himself world famous for the sensuous photographs of Marilyn Monroe he had taken for the magazine's 25th anniversary issue.


Besides Kirkland's portraits of the rich, famous, and influential-from Charlie Chaplin to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Coco Chanel-he is also known for his work as a set photographer, having worked on more than one hundred films, most recently Australia.

Catherine Opie


Describing herself once as "a kind of twisted social documentary photographer," Catherine Opie (born 1961) probes questions of how identity is perceived and shaped.  Opie first gained international renown in the 1990s for her intimate portraits of close friends in the Los Angeles lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and transvestite community, challenging perceptions of male and female identity.


Opie then turned her lens to herself in a series of powerful self-portraits far removed from the self-flattery usually associated with self-reflection.  And she expanded her exploration of identity to include architecture and freeways, the distinctive visual elements that shape the individuality of various cities across the United States - gated homes and strip centers (Los Angeles), ice houses (Minneapolis), steel mills (Pittsburgh) - creating photographs of exquisite formal beauty in which a human presence is emphatically implied, though physically absent.


This exhibition presents selections from her recent series, In and Around Home, that raises questions of global identity through the microcosm of Opie's son and partner at home and of their neighbors in their multi-cultural Los Angeles neighborhood.


Her 2008 monograph, Catherine Opie: American Photographer, was published in conjunction with her Guggenheim Museum retrospective.

For over 72-years Julius Shulman (born 1910) has played a seminal role in architectural photography. Best known for his iconic photographs of landmark buildings in the international modern style such as the 1947 Kaufman House in Palm Springs and the 1960 "Case Study House #22" in the Hollywood Hills designed by C. H. "Buck" Stahl and Pierre Koenig, Shulman's images capture the futuristic energy of the Los Angeles and Southern California lifestyle, shaping its perception by the world. Now 98, he continues to photograph every day.

 
Shulman moved to Los Angeles in 1920 as a boy and watched its transformation after World War II from a relatively small town surrounded by farmland to a modern city of international stature. In 1936 his self-initiated photographs of a Richard Neutra house lead to Neutra commissioning Shulman to photograph subsequent buildings. He was soon hired by other visionary architects, such as Rudolph Schindler and Frank Lloyd Wright, who were active in Los Angeles from the 1930s through the 1950s. Shulman's images are characterized by an extraordinary sensitivity to the rhythmic interplay between interior living space and majestic vista that defines the Southern California international style, and to the human spirit that gives the California dream life.


In 2007, Taschen published his most recent monograph, Julius Shulman: Modernism Rediscovered, Shulman's tribute to forgotten masterpieces of California architecture.

Tim Street-Porter


British born photographer Tim Street-Porter visited Los Angeles in the early 1970s and fell in love. Over the past three decades Street-Porter (born 1939) has photographed the city's modernist architecture, often working with the same homes photographed by Julius Shulman. His fascination with the way people live began as a child when he stood before a building of flats bombed during the war. "It was like looking into a doll's house."


The luscious quality of Los Angeles' natural light most attracted Street-Porter to Los Angeles. To this day, rather than using a digital camera, he photographs on film for its matchless superiority in capturing nuances of color and light. "The light here really is equivalent to the light in the Mediterranean and in North Africa that attracted Klee, Cezanne, Van Gogh and Matisse," he explains, calling it "a radiant quality." From the distinguished residential architecture of such master designers as Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, Rudolf Schindler, and Richard Meier to beaches, gaudy street signs, freeways, and vernacular buildings, Street-Porter describes his adopted home as "a vast residential theme park. . . a bewildering range of styles and fantasies, pretensions and idealistic visions."


In his latest monograph, LA Modern, published in 2008, Street-Porter, an eloquent writer as well as renowned photographer, celebrates the birthplace of American modernism.

Ansel Adams (1902-1984)


Ansel Adams' first ambition was to become a concert pianist, and many urged him not to give it up for photography. But he was an ardent conservationist who fell in love with nature, particularly the Yosemite Sierra, and he ultimately became famous for his signature black-and-white Western landscapes, photographed in different seasons to show nature's changing patterns. He won three Guggenheim grants to photograph national parks. A believer in "straight photography," he founded the anti-pictorialist group f/64 with Edward Weston in 1932. Adams also developed the Zone System, an exposure technique for black-and-white photography that allows photographers to control the tonal range in a negative, giving them more control over finished photographs. Though known for his landscapes, he also did commercial portraits and documentary work.

Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879)


British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron began taking photos merely to pass the time while her husband was away but quickly showed true talent as a portrait photographer. She ran in lofty circles, and her male subjects-Robert Browning, Charles Darwin, Henry Longfellow, Alfred Tennyson-were some of the great intellectuals and artists of the day. She usually shot against a dark background, draping her models' bodies in dark cloth and carefully lighting them from one side, to dramatic effect. Though Cameron also photographed female celebrities, she tended to select them for their beauty rather than their accomplishments.

Edward Steichen (1879-1973)

 

One of the most important artistic figures of his time, Edward Steichen was originally a painter who burst onto the international photography scene by creating romantic pictorialist images. His pioneering work-which involved manipulating images and working creatively with filters-helped establish photography as a fine art. After Alfred Stieglitz bought some of his prints, the two became friends and Stieglitz promoted Steichen's work in his publication Camera Work. Steichen joined the advertising industry in 1923. He was instrumental in boosting the number of advertisements that used photography from 15 percent to 80 percent in just a decade. In 1947, Steichen became the director of photography for The Museum of Modern Art, where he organized The Family of Man in 1955, an exhibition of 503 photos that examined the universal themes of life, love, children, and death in 68 countries.

William Henry Fox Talbot  (1800–1877)

 

William Henry Fox Talbot, who invented the positive/negative photographic process, is known as The Father of Modern Photography. A true Renaissance man who studied the classics at Cambridge, he had a variety of interests—he was a mathematician, a physicist, a botanist, a Biblical scholar, and a transcriber of ancient Syrian and Chaldean texts.

', 497 : '

Edward Weston (1886-1958)

 

An influential American photographer known for his interpretive eye and  superbly printed photographs, Edward Weston's initial style was soft-focused and pictorialist. However, after joining the London Salon in 1917-and meeting Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand a few years later-he began shooting his subjects in sharp focus and emphasizing more abstract forms. After a stint in Mexico City, he moved to California and began the work for which he would become renowned-landscapes, nudes, and exquisite still lifes of objects such as shells and vegetables. (He eventually burned most of his early negatives, wanting to be remembered for his later work.) Along with Ansel Adams, Weston helped form the famous Group f/64 in 1932, and was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Carolyn Cole

 

Working for the Los Angeles Times since 1994, Carolyn Cole's photographs of many of the world's armed conflicts convey harsh realities far removed from the illusions of Hollywood. Cole (born 1961) won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 2004 for her coverage of the siege of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia.

 

For nearly two decades, Cole has covered war, starvation, and brutality in the Middle East, Haiti, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. Like other conflict photographers, she has repeatedly placed herself in situations of danger to report on issues that she believes must be covered. In 2002 she earned her first nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of a group of Palestinian gunmen who entered the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as they fled Israeli forces, setting off a standoff that lasted for 39 days. Cole joined a group of peace activists who entered the church in solidarity with the Palestinians and filed several stories from inside the conflict.

 

Cole has also been widely recognized for her sensitive portrayals of civilians, especially children caught in the destitution and horror surrounding armed conflicts. Her most recent project focuses on exploited children in various Asian countries. ', 503 : 'Lauren Greenfield

Clyde Butcher

 

Clyde Butcher (born Kansas City, Missouri, 1942), known for his large format black and white photographs of sublime nature, has been a lifelong nomad. He studied architecture at California Polytechnic University, graduating in 1964. During college, rather than use drawings, Butcher presented his architecture projects by creating and photographing miniature scale models. Clyde was responsible for a portion of the design of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco.


In 1963, seeing Ansel Adams' work on display at Yosemite National Park, was an moment of revelation. By 1970, he changed careers realizing that he could make more money in photography than he was making in architecture.


Clyde has published ten books. He is in the Florida Artist Hall of Fame Award, and a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association. The Sierra Club awarded him the Ansel Adams Conservation Award. He is also the subject of 'Visions of Florida', an award-winning half hour documentary by Public Broadcasting.

Paul Nicklen

Paul Nicklen (Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada) grew up in a small Inuit settlement. "The Inuit taught me to survive in the Arctic, read the weather, and, more than anything else, appreciate patience," says Nicklen. Nicklen studyied marine biology at the University of Victoria, and went on to work as a wildlife biologist in the Northwest Territories studying unique species such as lynx, grizzly bears, and polar bears. After four years, Nicklen resigned convinced that rather than work as a biologist, he could better serve wildlife populations by becoming a nature photojournalist.

The other four members of this list hold powerful offices connected directly with arts venues that house music, visual arts and theater nearly year-round. We say "nearly" because, for one week every year, Jessica Nagle’s Festival of the Photograph—now approaching its third year—controls almost every aspect of the arts scene in Charlottesville, taking over prominent gallery spaces, building sides, the Charlottesville Pavilion, and The Paramount Theater each summer.

For starters, Nagle, a co-founder of SNL Financial with Reid Nagle, assembled a dynamite Who’s Who list of local artists—Will Kerner, Will May, and her co-executive director Nick Nichols. From there, she used her local support to earn greater national funding and, subsequently, greater international attention.

 

Both National Geographic and Apple signed on with the Festival as founding supporters, and continue to donate, alongside photo heavy-hitters like Canon. Her festival advisory board boasts photo editors and directors from the likes of The New York Times, Fortune and Aperture. And Nagle returns the favor, whether serving as Live Arts’ Gala chair alongside Jane Matthews in 2008 or supporting organizations like Light House Studio. 



 

What’s more, Nagle’s celebrity retention rate is nothing short of spectacular: Featured artists from the previous installments of the Festival of the Photograph, including Eugene Richards and James Nachtwey, will return to conduct workshops during this year’s fest, from June 11 through 13. Nagle’s power is enough to make us hope the old adage is true: Take a picture—it’ll last longer.

Clyde Butcher – (born Kansas City, Missouri, 1942)

 

Clyde Butcher, known for his large format black and white photographs of sublime nature, has been a lifelong nomad. He studied architecture at California Polytechnic University, graduating in 1964. During college, rather than use drawings, Butcher presented his architecture projects by creating and photographing miniature scale models. Clyde was responsible for a portion of the design of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco.

Seeing Ansel Adams' work on display at Yosemite National Park in 1963 provided a moment of revelation for Butcher. By 1970, he changed careers realizing that he could make more money in photography than he was making in architecture.

Clyde has published ten books and is a recipient of the Florida Artist Hall of Fame Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association. The Sierra Club bestowed on him the Ansel Adams Conservation Award. He is also the subject of 'Visions of Florida', an award-winning half hour documentary by Public Broadcasting.

Recent projects include work for the Florida state's "Save Our Rivers" program, the South Florida Water Management District, the D.E.P., Divisions of State Lands, the Bureau of Submerged Lands and Preserves, Everglades National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Audubon Society, The Nature Conservancy, River Keepers, and the Wilderness Society.

Both 'Venice Gallery & Studio' (located in Venice, Florida) and Butcher's 'Big Cypress Gallery' are surrounded by more than a million acres of National Park wetlands and cypress strands of wild Florida.

Paul Nicklen- Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada

 

Paul Nicklen grew up in a small Inuit settlement. "The Inuit taught me to survive in the Arctic, read the weather, and, more than anything else, appreciate patience," says Nicklen. Nicklen studied marine biology at the University of Victoria, and went on to work as a wildlife biologist in the Northwest Territories studying unique species such as lynx, grizzly bears, and polar bears. After four years working as a biologist, Nicklen resigned as he was convinced that he could better serve wildlife populations by becoming a nature photojournalist.

Nicklen's photographs have appeared in National Geographic, Canadian Geographic, Natural History, International Wildlife, and Equinox. At the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, Nicklen received recognition in three categories: Underwater, Animal Behavior, and Dusk to Dawn. His first book, ‘Seasons of the Arctic’, was released by Douglas & McIntyre (Canada) and Sierra Club Books (U.S.) in 2000.  Nicklen lives in Whitehorse, Yukon, with his wife, Lyn.

Donna and Stephen James O'Meara



Since their marriage on the slopes of Kilauea volcano on the Island of Hawai'i in 1987, the O'Mearas have dedicated their lives to photographing the drama and mystery of volcanic eruptions.

"To go to the explosive volcanos, the boomers, and to feel the earth under your feet—just awesome power," says Stephen James O'Meara. "As long as you survive, it's exciting."

In 1994, the O'Mearas founded 'Volcano Watch International', a research organization dedicated to better understanding the Earth's active volcanoes. The organization uses the couples' images to educate people about volcanic dangers. It is estimated that more than 10 million people worldwide live in active volcano danger zones. The O'Mearas are part of The National Geographic Expeditions Council and National Geographic Society contract photographers. Donna and Stephen live in Hawai'i.

After living in Los Angeles he went to Chicago (ca. 1908) to study commercial photography at the Illinois College of Photography. On his return to Los Angeles he worked for a commercial studio before setting up his own portrait studio (1911-1912). His life was shaped by the women he new Flora Chandler, Margrethe Mather, Tina Modotti and Charis Wilson each being significant in distinct periods of his life. Flora gave him four children; Margrethe introduced him to Oriental stylistic elements in his photography; Tina would take him to Mexico (1923-1926) and lead to his rejection of Pictorialism and influence his embrace of Modernism and Charis would travel with him as he perfected his detailed landscape work in California and the west. Edward Weston is one of very few photographers who have left detailed diaries that outline the highs and lows of his creative vision (1923-1943).

William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) was an English polymath with interests in linguistics, botany, science and a pioneer in the invention of photography being the first to print on paper and use a negative/positive process.

From his home at Laycock Abbey in England he was at the center of a large social circle of the key scientists of his time. Following his frustration with the camera lucida drawings he had attempted during his visit to Lake Como with his wife he carried out wide-ranging chemical experiments on how to capture a latent image on paper. With the assistance of Sir John Herschel he was able to fix the images he took with his “mouse-trap” cameras. And his invention was made public in 1839 soon after the announcement of the Daguerreotype by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre. Although his photogenic drawings did not have the detail of the Daguerreotypes the ability to create copies and use paper made them the basis for almost all future photography.

Bill Gates (1955-) has been a leader in software development since the 1970s.

Born into an affluent upper middle-class family he was fortunate to meet the two year older Paul Allen at Lakeside School in Seattle.  Their access to computer through a teletype terminal in the late 1960s and early 70s led to lucrative joint projects. Dropping out of Harvard in 1974 he went to work with Paul Allen and in 1975 they founded Micro-Soft – that would evolve into the software giant Microsoft and by 1978 the company has gross sales of $2.5 million.

 His 1994 marriage to Melinda French and the vast riches gained as Microsoft grew allowed the family to concentrate more on philanthropy with the founding of William H. Gates Foundation in 1994 and the creation of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation  in 2000 with a start-up contribution of $28 billion. Major projects include the eradication of Polio the reduction of Malaria, HIV/AIDS along with agriculture and improving excellence in teaching.

A biography of Ella Watson within the context of photography is only partly about her as a person and more about her as a symbol of the American working woman.

In 1942 Ella Watson was working as a charwoman in a US Government building in Washington D.C. when Roy Stryker of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) suggested that Gordon Parks should photograph her. Parks had been seeking ways of how a camera could be used to expose intolerance and the ever-shrewd Stryker suggested that she would be a good subject. Gordon Parks took photographs of her at work, at home and in her social activities. It is the series that show her Grant Wood style mop-in-hand posed in front of a large American flag that became an icon due to its visual strength. The captions that accompany the photographs of Ella Watson and the memories of Gordon Parks and the family of Ella Watson highlight that a single photograph is a part of a complex back story. In the case of Ella Watson the story included a history of how her father had been lynched, her husband accidentally killed by gunfire, sickness within her family and illegitimate children.

', 642 : 'Wright Brothers

Orville (1871-1948) and Wilbur (1867-1912), widely known as the Wright Brothers, are credited with the invention of the first successful airplane capable of making a controlled heavier-than-air human flight.

The two brothers, who never finished high school, but showed experimental skills designing a printing press and publishing a number of local papers before opening a cycle sales and repair shop (1892) and then manufacturing their own bicycles (1896). The 1890s was a booming period for bicycles but also the popular interest in the possibility of flight had captured popular interest with the glides of the ill-fated Otto Lilienthal in Germany.

In 1899 they commenced aeronautical experiments into controlled flight. Experimenting with kites, gliders, and approximately 200 wing shapes they refined their tests.  The number of experiments they completed in four years was staggering and they applied for a patent for a “flying machine” (March, 23, 1903) and they made successful flights in December of the same year. Their initial flights met with press skepticism over the following years until they gave public demonstrations in France and the USA (1908).', 643 : 'Mike "King" Kelly
