Notes from movie

  • "Brownie" Cameras- a somewhat cheap camera that was popular
  • Before cameras were greatly available, photos werent taken that often and were mainly formal portraits
  • photograph poster cards- developed photos that became useful for newspapers
  • National Geography pioneered colored images
  • Edward Curtis documented the life of Indians- very useful for those who are trying to trace back their history
  • photographs were used to bring awareness to child labor
  • victorian images had a hazy "foggy" look; used to look more like art/paintings
  • WWI- photography was very important; photos of dead were not shown
