Prior to the 1880’s negatives were produced on glass with a freshly made and still wet photosensitive emulsion. With the invention of the dry plate process and roll film, amateurs started taking pictures in great numbers. So many companies started up to supply them that they depressed the entire market. To survive in this highly competitive climate Eastman developed a complete and easy to use camera system he named Kodak, -You press the button, we do the rest. This marketing strategy not only allowed him to survive but also propelled him to the top of his field. While the first known real photo postcard made its appearance in 1899, they did not begin to be made in number until Eastman bought the rights to Velox photo paper with a pre printed postcard back, and began to seriously market it in 1902. A year later he put an inexpensive folding camera on the market that produced negatives the same size as postcards allowing for simple sharp contact printing. No other company put nearly as much money into advertising. Great efforts were made to distinguish the artistic quality inherent in real photos from that of halftone reproductions. Between 1906 and 1910, Kodak offered a fee based service where they would process and print real photo postcards adding to their convenience and popularity. (metropostcard.com)

When the Curtis family moved to Port Orchard, Washington in 1887, Edward’s gift for photography led him to an investigation of the Indians living on the Seattle waterfront. His photograph Homeward won Curtis the highest award in a photographic exhibition contest. Having become well-known for his work with the Indians, Curtis participated in the 1899 Harriman expedition to Alaska as the lead photographer. He then accompanied George Bird Grinell, editor of Forest and Stream, on a trip to northern Montana. There they witnessed the deeply sacred Sundance of the Piegan and Blackfoot tribes. Traveling on horseback, with their pack horses trailing behind, they stopped at the precipice. Below them, the view of the valley floor stretched with over a thousand teepees – an awesome sight to Curtis. This event would transformed his life and inspired him to create The North American Indian. Consisting of over 700 large portfolio images, over 1500 volume size images, and over 7000 pages of text, The North American Indian is a part of American history in both its imagery and its creation.

The experts show a couple of the original negatives that Curtis used in his original camera. Curtis carefully removed objects and things from the negatives, so that it wouldn't show up in the final image. Some of these objects included and umbrella and an alarm clock. What was very interesting about Edward Curtis is that he didn't only photograph Native Americans in their traditional garments, but instead gave them western clothing to try on. This raised the question, Why can't they be identified as Indian even though they are not wearing their traditional clothing? Edward Curtis is most likely the most famous North American Indian Photographer. ]]> 2021-12-01 06:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jr0437/sr6tej869tfzpl0i/wish/1922126190 Documenting the North American Indians (1896) jr0437 https://padlet.com/jr0437/sr6tej869tfzpl0i/wish/1922133009 Smithsonian Institution: Every Indian in North America has a Curtis photograph on their wall at sometime during their lives. Edward Curtis, a great photographer, an extraordinary man, made it his enterprise to photograph the people whom he believed would disappear. And so he set about on this extraordinary enterprise. And he did go all over North America from the northwest coast to Hopi land to the northern plains.
Curtis gave non-Indians an image of a world that they wanted intact. Indians as beautiful, Indians as romantic. He dragged around a trunk full of clothes just in case Indians didn’t look the way he wanted them to look. If they didn’t look right, he fixed it. If he didn’t think they looked glamorous enough in their daily Sioux outfits, he’d drag out the Blackfeet ermine-tailed war bonnets, just to hype it up a little more.
What Curtis did was extraordinary and what he left us with was an amazing legacy, these beautiful pictures of a moment in time that we all wish was true, that last brief shining moment when we looked glorious, when things weren’t shattered.
For me though and I think for a lot of native people those pictures give us a lie, give us a fantasy. I want the real picture of a daily world the way native people were living it, and Curtis can’t give me that.
Frank Matsura photographed hundreds and hundreds of Indian people at the time. He was making pictures of all the things they were, of all the ways they looked. He took pictures of the not-Curtis world. And I want those pictures. I want the reality. I want the past as it was rather than as someone dreamed it into being. (Rayna Green)

There was a influx of snapshooters in the photographic community. There was however a small group of individuals who believed that their photography is considered fine art.

Clearly indebted in its composition to the Japanese woodcuts that were in vogue at the turn of the century and in its coloristic effect to the "Nocturnes" of Whistler, this picture is a prime example of the conscious effort of photographers in the circle of Alfred Stieglitz to assert the artistic potential of their medium.

It was perhaps Paul Strand who carved out a most unique position amongst them. Strand is often discussed as the architect of the so-called Straight Photography; a pure photographic style that utilized large format cameras to record, and bring new perspectives to ordinary or previously ignored subjects in the name of fine art. Strand's 'Straight' aesthetic proved so persuasive in fact that it was adopted by other luminaries in the photographic circle and the 'Straight' ideal formed part of the clarion call for the famous f/64 Group who shared similar ideals with Strand, as did a number of other Straight photographers in the next several decades. Yet Strand was to push forward by extending the 'Straight' aesthetic to the field of documentary and he became highly regarded, and something of a standard-bearer, for those in pursuit of social and political redress through both the still and moving image.

It marked a clear departure from a style of soft-focused Pictorialism (practiced hitherto by Strand) whereby the photographer used a camera and dark-room manipulation to produce images that mimicked that rather unfashionable (by modernism's standards) painting style. The image provides an early example of Strand's willingness to accommodate documentary realism and abstraction within the same frame. On the one hand, Strand offers the spectator an objective, 'straight', record of a street scene showing walking pedestrians as the sun elongates their shadows; on the other, we have a high contrast interplay of light and dark as the shadows formed by the niches of the large Morgan Trust Bank building produce a slanting geometric pattern (The Art Story)]]> 2021-12-08 22:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jr0437/sr6tej869tfzpl0i/wish/1936897866 Porch Shadows (1916) jr0437 https://padlet.com/jr0437/sr6tej869tfzpl0i/wish/1936900089 During the summer of 1916, Strand vacationed at a rented cottage in Twin Lakes, Connecticut. Inspired by the European avant-gardes, and the Cubists especially, he had already reached the conclusion that "All good art is abstract in its structure" and he began to explore the question, posed by the European painters, of "what a picture consists of, how shapes are related to each other, [and] how spaces are filled". Using everyday items, including kitchen furniture and crockery, and fruit, Strand used his large plate camera to transform - or elevate - the mundane utilities into pure two-dimensional patterns. The resulting collection did in fact include some of the very first purely abstracted photographic images. Porch Shadows exemplifies this way of working. On close inspection, we might deduce that the object in question is no more than an ordinary round table placed on a terrace porch. But Strand alters our perception by firstly rotating the image. The geometric shapes meanwhile - thin stripes, parallelograms and a large triangle - are created in the shadows and light brought to the composition by the strong sun as it penetrates the slats of the terrace window.

To honor his father's accomplishments, Luce established an endowment at Yenching University in Peking in 1935.

From 1936 to 1966, the foundation’s grants were mostly quite small, falling into three categories: more than 38 percent were related to Asian affairs, 36 percent to theology and ethics, and 25 percent to public affairs and policy.
