I will be bringing in some old daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and collodions into class. Afterwards we will begin talking about the history of war photography. We'll start with the civil war covering such photographers as Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner moving on to other greats such as Robert Capa. We'll also be watching an excerpt for a documentary called War Photographer. Last....
Since this is literally 4 blocks away and it's free we'll probably stop by towards the end of class. There will be some people there with photography books that you can talk to about the relevance of the book in relation to photography projects and the history of their inception some 150 years ago!
