Photo History – Class 2 Spring 2012 – History Survey Part 1

Class session #2 is the first part of a two-part overview of the history of photography; a sort of “condensed” history in order to get a sense of the medium’s “who, what, when and where.” This week, we cover from 1800 B.C. to 1888 A.D.

The podcast has moved from being an “enhanced” podcast to an “audio only” podcast. All visuals for each class session are still available online with the link below.
