I had the opportunity to scan a friend's historical family negatives from glass plates that had never been printed. It was a priceless moment for the family to see their ancestors for the first time
At RIT I took a course on the History of Photogaphy taught by Beaumont Newhall. It served me well, I went on to have a 40 year career as a photographer at the NIH, working in the same building as Dr. Fauci. I started experimenting with photograph in 10th grade, a good friend at the time thought the term "fixer" was hilarious.
An interesting spelling of Niepce. I don’t remember making this video though I’m featured throughout. Must have been drawn from other pieces I did at the museum over the years. Nice to see I live on in video. Mark Osterman.
YES!!! I wish more young photographers watch in where Photography got it's start instead of bragging of their gear, and do not know what is the difference of an F/Stop Opening than to a Broadway Opening. MORE MORE of these videos, LOVE THEM!!!!! 😃😃🎞📸
Thank you for sharing this much enjoyed video. Back in the early-mid 80's I had the pleasure of developing a few rolls of B&W Kodak film & using a 3 solution process for making enlargements on a used enlarger purchased at camera store in Patterson, NJ. Fun stuff. Still have my first & only film camera & sometimes think about getting back into it for fun.
Thank you for this excellent overview. I brought back many wonderfull memories. I used to see the "Kodak Tower from my ninth flooe dorm room in Nathanial Rochester Hall. Friends and I played around with the prototype Xerox camera at the Eastman House. (I wish I had saved the images I made.)
It wasn’t until around the 1900’s that the camera could go beyond reproducing an image and was able to capture the decisive moment. Now you were not only able to reproduce a subject’s image but were able to capture a decisive event or a decisive behavior as well. Photography was now redefined from not merely being a resemblance of an images but was now truly able to capture decisive events. An event now able to be burned into memory.
In 8th grade /1971/ I was the school student photographer. Using the Agfa and an early Brownie camera. I loved using the different chemicals and using the enlarger to create b/w images onto various paper paper textures!! Today, I use the iPhone 14 Pro Max. I seen vacuum tube radios to everything digital!! 📹📲
The notion of the quantum window applies to the camera obscura through the wave function collapse upon observation, although it's not inverted reality, it just is reality existing as a phenomenon independent of what's out there but causally interdependent through verification.
A great video. Two things mentioned that are of great importance are how photography made people's ideas of time change and how digital photography emphasizes the differences between the mechanical process of digital photography with the analog process that requires crafting the image, man vs. the machine if you will.
Post ($ some in camera) is crafting the image these days, if one is not making fantasy photos. I hope there are a lot of photographers still using the camera to start the craft an image. I think so. It is just that snap-shots & AI photos from phones capturing a second in time is probably what is most seen.
That was pretty cool. I love to imagine maybe an ancient inventor stumbled upon a prototype even earlier. How sick would it be to have ancient egypt or "Atlantis" in photo.
It fascinates thinking ,that how many decades who knows centuries would have been taken to click just one picture full of memories,affection(connatative) Nowadays the meaning of clicking a photo is totally different with so much advance cam. And a person can click thousands of pics but the feel in that days must have been overwhelming
Silver was a key material in developing some of the first publicly available photographs as a layer of silver was put thinly over a copper sheet and polished to a mirror finish and was treated with iodine fumes to make it light sensitive. Once exposed for a long time would produce a yellow colour on the glass which could then be treated with other chemicals to keep the image. Very interesting and photos wouldn’t be the way they are today if not for silver. I love photography 📸🎞️ also awesome interesting vids 👍👍👍
At some point, people will realize they don't have access to those wonderful photos their family members have been taking on their phones for the last few years and going forward. Our only hope? Print your favorite family photos. Other wise they are are hidden from all on some far away server or worse, on a long discarded phone no one can get to.
I again took up photography as a hobby but this this time I leaned it as digital imagery. I began again educating myself to modern photographic imagery by attempting to make the digital data image look like a analogue photograph. Grain was acceptable in an image only so long as it replicated the analogue grain that I had in my old Rollieflex TLR Camera. This quest to replicate digital imagery as analogue is a misguided futile endeavor. Today’s finest imagery at its best whether artistic or journalistic is digital. We must face the reality that analogue is now becoming an outdated artifact from our ancient historical past.
Actually film ("analog") is in a resurgence that is so strong that manufacturers of film can't keep up with demand. There are a few companies that are starting film camera production again. Many movies are being shot on film because of its look. Film is a media form like paint or marble and its worth as a unique media is still appreciated.
So, you go from trying to re-produce the "film look" of your rolliflex in digital (and failing), to dis-missing film as an "out-dated artefact". Film gives you the "film look" straight from the box!!!!!!!! Today's finest imagery is in the eye of the beholder, howsoever it is made! Your opinion is yours - and yours alone.
I am not sure when this was made, but film began a revival around 2010-2012, and far from being a passing fad, it continue to grow. At the nadir, only about 4-6 million rolls of film were made annually, a far cry from the 300M or more at the zenith of the early 1990's. By 2016-2018, over 15M rolls of film were being made annually and the trend has continued to over 20M rolls made annually. The challenge for companies producing film was downscaling massive production facilities to economically produce at a rate of 2-5% of previous capacity. Why is film photography popular and enduring? Because the photographer is more involved in the mechanical and chemical process. The photographer is forced to slow down. With each shot costing money, photographers work harder for better pictures as opposed to spraying and praying with a digital camera. For documentary purposes -- house inspection, car damage, price, barcode, or funny moment -- digital rules the roost. However, for more artistic or aesthetic purposes, film has a sizable following for a wide variety of reasons.
Will be interesting to see where it goes. There is an uptick but in the case of Kodak they stopped making their own film base before we did any of these videos. The factory with the film casting wheels is a grassy field now.

You have too many and too frequent commercials!! You are not considering the viewer and t makes you seem greedy. Commercials interrupt the flow of the vdeo. I will not purchase any product shown here.

I enjoyed watching this so much. History of photography is beautiful. 👏🏽
All I see are a group of people really passionate about the history of photography.

Do you know if the original series is available without ads from GEH? Perhaps on DVD?

Wonderfully succinct chronology. I think it would be hard to follow for someone with no prior knowledge. It served as a perfect refresher for me.

Wonderful and informative video. Thank you for uploading. 🙂
Wonderfully presented! Concise, and informative
Thank you for putting this together. Very informative.

Long live film photography!

Great little history.
One key takeaway: Digital is fragile. Print your photos if you want them to last!

That's pretty much a recap of what this video says at around the five minute mark. It's called making a daguerreotype.

Thanks for the upload
Fascinating!
Very nice in the end sad but true.
You missed the fact photos where taken on the moon.
Thanks for sharing.
Agree we need a 25 mega pixel rangefinder Lumix, but keep the EVF very useful in bright conditions
Great video!
Fox Talbot was an aristocrat but he was not a member of the House of Lords.
THANKS A LOT. REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY DIDACTIC
Excellent!
very good video. very very good!
Quite good very informative
The word camera is originally from the arabic word Komra means darkroom
At some point, people will realize they don't have access to those wonderful photos their family members have been taking on their phones for the last few years and going forward. Our only hope?

Great!
My photography class is making me watch this shit😒
Same bro

You forgot Fujifilm who developed the digital camera at exactly the same time!!!
now we have Instagram and Duckfaces and the art of Photography turned into a FREAKSHOW !!!
Thank you😭😭😭

Umm...They had portrait artist before cameras. They painted portraits.
thanks
I can’t believe you have had at least 8 separately space commercials.!!! What is wrong with you!!!!
This video isn't original. It's taken from the George Eastman Museum channel - which doesn't ruin their content with commercials.

Digital can not be fully appreciated until reproduced as the analog print.
Everyone can take a photograph but that does not make them a photographer.
📷
Coolest subject
Worst voice! Miss peter Thomas
Everything excellent, except for the part of Kodak trying to facewash its big flop in digital photography.
Today billions of photos are taken daily. Only a very few of those will not last threw time.
Unless digital photos are printed they will not last.
and the Holography...
You have too many and too frequent commercials!! You are not considering the viewer and t makes you seem greedy. Commercials interrupt the flow of the vdeo. I will not purchase any product shown here.
But all light emits heat on some wavelength....
