Alfred Stieglitz was a modern art promoter in the early 1900's, who worked his whole life to make photography an accepted art. Besides making photography an accepted art he ran art galleries in New York, introducing many European artists to the U.S.

This is one of my favorite photos by Alfred Stieglitz because it simple and elegant yet tells a story of this man. It tells me that he sleeps alone and he is alone in the world.

Alfred was involved with Georgia O'Keeffe, a famous painter who painted enlarged images of flowers. 
She influenced him to take many pictures of her and obsess over her character, mood, and beauty.

BROWNIE CAMERA


The Brownie Camera is a series of inexpensive and easy to use cameras. The first Brownie Camera was introduced in the 1900's making photography available to anybody. 
Eastman Kodak invented the first Brownie Camera in February of 1900. The series of Brownie cameras changed society in a way no other 21st century camera did. It created an easy to use camera that anybody could use. The Brownie Camera let people let people take pictures of anything and everywhere. It was easy to use and led to more high tech cameras and then to video cameras.
