REFLECTIONS: Photography and Memory Notes
Note: A new post that will be cleaned up, with my personal opinions will be added at a later time...
William Henry Fox Talbot (1844)
May be the person who invented photography as we know it today
Louise Daguerre (1848)
Talbot's Contender
His process had more detail, but the photos were more fragile
Early on photography needed allot of heavy kit, plus you needed to have the chemicals on site
Eadweard Muybridge (1848)
Used multiple photographs to record movement.
Largest Camera Ever Made (1900)
The whole thing was made to promote a train
Was extremely expensive for the time
San Francisco Earthquake (1906) Arnold Genthe
Shows how major events can be memorialized
August Sander (1920)
He wanted to document society in a series of portraits
Look at PHOTOMONTAGE and EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY in 1931
1950
Cameras are turing more towards the consumers, and becomes available to most people.
1960
Vietnam War, famous photography by Don Mcullen
Penny Slinger
An Exorcism (1977)
Photomontage work, and was done as a way for her to explore and get over her fears after a break-up.
Wayne Inghles

Martin Parr

Jo Spence
Suffered from breast cancer, cause she felt powerless due to her illness she made a series of photographs that empowered her.
"A Picture of Health"
Cindy Sherman
Roland Barthes - Camera Lucida (READING LIST)
-Written in 1980, bathes looks through family photos after his mother has dies
-None seem right

-The photograph blocks memory
-It becomes a counter memory
-Too fixed - p93
-Destruction of the photograph
-Link to death - p96
ALL OF THESE WILL BE ON myUCA:

Says that photographs can be used out of context, and it's meaning can be destroyed...
Says that photographs are linear, but memories connect to each other radially
