Anyone could purchase this product and it was small enough to carry around to different locations. ]]> 2021-11-15 18:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892102667 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892120410 The Brownie costed only $1.00, making it very affordable for average Americans to buy. It allowed the public to be able to take pictures themselves for a lot less money. People who had no access to a camera were suddenly able to capture pictures and learn photography through a small camera.]]> 2021-11-15 18:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892120410 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892129254 There became a mass distribution of Brownie cameras as more and more Americans wanted to buy one. Not only were individuals able to take their own snapshots, but they could also take photos of their life and connect it with friends or family that live farther away. Suddenly, there was no longer a need to hire photographers because people were able to do it themselves. ]]> 2021-11-15 19:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892129254 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892140284 Another incredible invention from the Eastman Kodak Company was the creation of picture postcards. They called these "real picture postcards" because people could print photos and write messages on the back of them to be send to family and friends. ]]> 2021-11-15 19:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892140284 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892156453 Postcards were able to print on a strong paper base with a writing area on the back. Kodak provided the printers and strong paper to make it more accessible for anyone to use. This became a cheap way to send photographs to family or friends that an individual took themselves. ]]> 2021-11-15 19:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892156453 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892171405 Not only were picture postcards popular because family and friends could receive them, but they also fulfilled the function of newspapers that were sold. Instead, people could find out about major events through their friends and not need to look through newspapers. This accounted for locals and family that lived farther away. ]]> 2021-11-15 19:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892171405 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892173243 Gilbert Grosvenor was an editor of a scientific journal that has about 3,000 subscribers, called the National Geographic. ]]> 2021-11-15 19:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1892173243 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1894950095 Grosvenor had opened up a package that he received, filled with pictures from Tibet.

The pictures were so extraordinary that people believed them, and created topics of history based off of what they saw. Curtis did not give the American people a reality, causing misconceptions to linger for several years. ]]> 2021-11-16 19:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1894984582 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1894994241 For centuries, critics had been arguing over whether or not photographs was truly a form of art. Since it was believed that all photographers do is press a button, photography was not believed to be an art. Alfred Stieglitz became known for challenging the norms of photography, and decided to turn pictures into art. ]]> 2021-11-16 19:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1894994241 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1895003027 Stieglitz had started the photo-secessionist movement, which meant "breaking away", because he was changing the ways that he took and printed photographs. He wanted viewers to see photographs as another branch of art. To do this, he would smear Vaseline on the lens of the camera or in the darkroom while the photo was being processed. The goal was to make photography a handmade process, so it could be just like any other form of art.

From their popularity, the National Museum of American Art began to acknowledge this type of photography along with the older traditions of art. Stieglitz had proven that these photographs weren't made by a machine, but instead, human intervention.]]> 2021-11-16 19:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1895012285 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897796995 Photography began to capture moving aspects of daily life, including the factory industry. Frank Gilbreth took part in these studies by taking pictures of a factory worker's every move. The pictures would break down each movement, revealing how they would spend their time. His goal was to find the most efficient way for the workers to do their job. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897796995 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897807249 Part of Gilbreth's study included the cyclograph technique, which was done by attatching flashing lights onto a workers finger to capture the amount of time it took to complete a motion. He conducted this experiment on workers of all types, from golfers to oyster shuckers. One of the biggest discoveries me made was how much time surgeons spent looking for tools instead of actually performing the operation. Gilbreth was able to come up with a solution that had nurses looking for the tools while the surgeon focused on the surgery.]]> 2021-11-17 19:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897807249 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897815431 Even though Gilbreth's discovery helped many people learn to perform their work tasks quicker, it did bring some downsides to other working Americans. People began to accuse Gilbreth of turning people from skilled workers to robots because expectations got higher for the workers. Bosses loved the cyclograph technique because it informed them of who was working, and who wasn't. But that made working conditions more demanding, and harder on the lives of the working people.]]> 2021-11-17 19:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897815431 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897830285 Photography was beginning to not only have an influence on how Americans saw the world, but what they believed. Writing had been the only way to describe poor working conditions in an attempt to advocate social change, but were never truly successful. Lewis Hine became inspired by a photographer named Jacob Riis, who influenced society by taking pictures to start the housing reform movement. Soon after, Hine was hired by the National Child Labor Committee in an attempt to make child labor illegal.]]> 2021-11-17 19:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897830285 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897846610 Working with the NCLC, Hine set out to educate the middle class Americans about the need for a legistlation to stop child labor. He showed them photographs of children who who were working so hard, but were also being used at the same time. Later on, Hine put all of his photographs into slide shows, and had them shown at exhibitions across the U.S. These pictures were able to reach a large audience, including people who were unaware of the issue on child labor. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897846610 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897854577 Lewis Hine understood how powerful photographs can be because they explain things beyond logic and language. This is what moved the American society to become outraged and want an end to child labor. His photographs and campaign made it to the state department, soon causing the federal legislation to outlaw child labor. Not only did he have a huge impact in the movement, but Hine also proved that photographs are an essential tool for a social reform movement.]]> 2021-11-17 19:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897854577 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897860506 Everything in the world was changing through politics, world of ideas, music, and science, but photography was one of the only elements to be stuck in the past. Paul Strand decided to take the lead of putting photography into the modern age. He had been inspired by the workings of Stieglitz, and even brought an album of photos to show him. Stieglitz looked through the pictures and told Strand that he had created a new and great form of modern art. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897860506 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897861821 The United States did not have very many supporters at the start of World War I. Most of the population believed that there was no point for the US to be apart of the European conflicts. One week after America's declaration of war, President Wilson created a propaganda agency in hopes to start a campaign for support in the war. Before the war, photography was used only to raise the morale of troops and the people at home. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897861821 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897862472 The Daily News became the first tabloid newspaper in the United States, making it the first paper to sell itself solely on the basis of pictures. The cover pages had multiple photos of all sizes, to attract the viewers eye to the story. The design of these pages was poster like, and differed from a more professional look. Overall, the goal was to appeal to emotions instead of logical facts. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897862472 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897863610 The 20th century created a new phenomenon, the media celebrity. As long as they looked good in photographs, anyone could be famous, including scientists, preachers, and politicians. After learning about these celebrities through photographs, average Americans wanted to become just like them. This caused the demand of celebrity photographs to go up, since the people wanted to learn more about the lives of the celebrities. ]]> 2021-11-17 19:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1897863610 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911236714 After his encounter with Stieglitz, Strand had began to practice his new form of photography. He realized that the camera had the ability to capture shapes and forms in sharp focus. Instead of distorting an image or changing the print afterwards, Strand learned that he could emphasize a section and framing of the picture. The idea of "straight photography" became a huge aesthetic because it changed how photos were seen. There was no longer a need to manipulate photos in the darkroom since the pictures were meant to be seen clearly focused.]]> 2021-11-24 19:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911236714 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911241269 Strand started a big revolution of photography by incorporating abstract forms. He used shadows to create different effects, leaving the eye to wonder what the photo actually was. Inspired by famous artists including Picasso, Picabia, and Braque, Strand created abstract art through a camera lens. His new ideas of photography led to the camera being seen as a new type of vision. ]]> 2021-11-24 19:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911241269 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911262841 Pictures of the war were kept away from the front lines and often staged. If there were going to be photos of combat, they were taken far away to create Government censorship. Newspapers were not allowed to show photos of a dead American solder. To continue support for the war, the goal was to have photos taken that enlightened the people, not scared them by the tragic deaths. ]]> 2021-11-24 20:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911262841 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911268127 Even though no gruesome photos of the war were published, they were still taken by photographers. During the 1930s, hostilities had begun to build in Europe. This caused the tragic war photos to be published in America's antiwar lobby. This ended up bolstering America's support in the war, up until the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The American people were able to learn the truth about the war, that it was nothing but glorious. ]]> 2021-11-24 20:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1911268127 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1918678796 The Associated Press allowed for photographs to come in from around the world, and be shown to the people in a matter of just a few minutes.

A jury may be more swayed one way or another if they are able to make a connection to the photos or evidence. ]]> 2021-12-08 01:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1934868256 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936655282 A photojournalist named David Turnley was presented with a set of rules right after he arrived to the Gulf. All photographers that wanted to work right in the middle of war action had to be with a public affairs officer and not photograph and war casualties. Turnley immediately felt controlled because him and other photojournalists would not be able to do their work. He eventually left the unit to go out on his own and photograph what was really happening on the battlefield. ]]> 2021-12-08 19:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936655282 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936664282 After discovering a MASH unit, Turnley was able to capture a picture of medics lifting a body into a helicopter. Even though it was an amazing picture, the photograph never got sent out because of government censorship. Many other photographers experienced similar situations that denied the people their rights of what was going on in the war. Photography and television have been known to be great ways for spreading news, but not if the government controls what Americans know. ]]> 2021-12-08 19:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936664282 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936685185 Even though digital images can change pictures for the worse, they can help in several ways, including finding missing children. A young seven year old girl named Cheryl Morrien was kidnapped and hadn't been seen for over 10 years. To find out what she looks like as a 17 year old, a forensic artist named Steve Loftin altered her photograph to show how Cheryl could have aged. In this specific case, Cheryl has not been found, but the missing children center has had many successes because of Loftin's skill and technology.]]> 2021-12-08 19:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936685185 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936697369 Now that thousands of photos can be transferred so easily, some photographers wonder if their pictures would be worthwhile. Dirck Halstead remembers being at a presidential election fund raiser. He recalls other AFP and AP photojournalists there, but could not find their photographs anywhere. If so many photographers are in one place, then some may decide to delete their photos if someone else has already taken pictures, that may be better than theirs. Even though the image is a very powerful thing, it can still be a big competition as to who will be the one to have their photograph known by the world. ]]> 2021-12-08 19:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1936697369 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938918731 Photographers began to experiment with their pictures, and turn it into a different form of art. Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol used pictures from newspapers and magazines to add them to a canvas. To do this, they would take a magazine photo, drench it in lighter fluid, place it on a canvas, and then let the ink reproduce itself onto the paper. Rauschenberg's creativity turned a photographic image into a drawing!]]> 2021-12-09 18:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938918731 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938935466 Throughout this photographic era, information began to be coded into photographs. This allowed artists to make a realization that life comes in photographic images, and can be used in other forms of art. Andy Warhol was one of these photographic artists that took pictures and made them more abstract on a canvas. He wanted to think about what photography truly meant, and shared with the world that art and life can be seen in so many different forms. ]]> 2021-12-09 18:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938935466 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938958325 A picture of Franklin Roosevelt was taken during a speech where he said in confidence, "you have nothing to feat but fear itself". That photograph became the epitome of optimism, enthusiasm, and resilience. At the same time, a picture of Hoover was released that represented the opposite, upset. In a political campaign, this was crucial because it made the American citizens feel a certain way, and want to vote for whoever made them feel the best.]]> 2021-12-09 18:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938958325 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938975325 Kennedy was able to master the photo op while Nixon struggled to make himself presentable on camera. Photographers referred Kennedy as "Jack the Back" because he would always keep his back to the camera until he was ready to face the public. Nixon was almost the opposite since he did not photograph well. His had a bad beard, didn't make eye contact, and wasn't the best speaker. How politicians presented themselves on camera impacted the way that the people voted. ]]> 2021-12-09 19:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1938975325 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1941180256 Eddie Adams captured a picture of General Loan executing a suspect in Saigon. The picture originally appeared on television, and the next morning, it was all over the newspaper. Everyone was stunned, not only by the death itself but because they had never seen a photograph of a moment of death. This photograph became symbolic of everything that was going on in the war.]]> 2021-12-10 22:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1941180256 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1941180807 A photograph of a young Vietnamese girl running down a street quickly became famous because she had just been napalmed by the American Army. She had suffered many wounds and burns, and she is shown screaming in pain in the picture. Viewers could not get over the emotional force from this picture. The girl was photographed head on, giving the feeling that you (as the viewer) was on the road with her.]]> 2021-12-10 22:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1941180807 bb9047 https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1941181087 Students at Kent State University were using their rights to protest the American government. But the National Guard came in, and ended up killing four innocent students. A picture was taken of a girl leaning over a body of a fellow student. The image reached out deeply to the emotions of students, families, and teachers. ]]> 2021-12-10 22:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bb9047/dhqncoyth81se8xv/wish/1941181087
