Our World in Pictures: A Short History of Photography
Join us for an interesting program on the history of photography! This program will take place Thursday, May 14 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Even in the digital age, we still treasure those old family photos lying around the house. The art and craft of photography once involved bulky equipment, toxic chemicals, and arcane technical knowledge – until the 1890s, when George Eastman brought his simple, easy-to-use Kodak camera to the masses. This program explores the full 200 years of photographic history: its early pioneers, its famous practitioners, and the iconic images that helped define the world in which we grew up.
